This is what makes our summer camp unique.
We are a safe place that puts kids first and, under the umbrella of your family, places each of our young charges on his or her own journey of self-discovery and personal growth.The goals are many: rest up from the pressures of modern life, make friends, feel good about one’s self, have fun, find your quiet confidence, and share in our values of cooperation, effort, leadership, growth, sharing, courage, responsibility, creativity, spirit, and independence.
The objective is singular: to have the best summer of your young life!
