Slow Down For Summer
In a world that is increasingly fast-paced and screen based, kids need a place to just slow down for a bit. Where they’re able to build close, in-person friendships, take in the beauty of the natural world, and be surrounded by role models who are committed to their growth and development.
Authentic In-Person Connection
During our 3-week sessions, campers live in a supportive, un-plugged community, where they are given the autonomy to choose their own activities, the opportunity to connect with people and nature, and live with peers and counselors, who are committed to their social and emotional growth.
Taking Responsibility
The 3-week length allows the time for campers to build a strong sense of self, and understand their personal responsibility to their cabin and the camp community as a whole. They develop greater social awareness and acceptance of differences through interactions with peers of various backgrounds and abilities.
Play and Have Fun!
Campers have time each day to make independent choices during unstructured play, which provides a foundation for more confident, self-directed children, who are resilient and excited to take on new challenges!
Excellent Staff
Each of our sessions have approximately 150 campers, and we employ around 45 highly vetted and well-trained counselors and directors, ensuring that campers get the attention and TLC they need during the session.
