CAMP PROGRAM INFO: 2019 is our 60th year of continuous programming and our 35th year on the same campus. Our program focuses on three umbrella activity areas: Action, Creation, and Exploration. Our youngest campers cycle through various activities through the day that present interesting challenges that promote growth while being designed for their developmental needs. As our campers grow with us from year to year, they gain more flexibility, eventually creating their own schedules tailored to their interests, including week long clubs that deliver a specialty camp level of programming. By giving the campers the choice of how to run their summer, we empower them as we engage them. Our program is also designed to instill a set of shared values: Respect, Community, Honesty, and Kindness. Our goal is for every camper to grow into the person they are meant to be, summer after summer, as the camp experience is shared with the world.
