Hey Campers!

Each week of the summer our program is based on a different theme. These seven weeks are available to campers who are 7 to 15 years old. Check out this great line-up of summer themes. Be sure to check out our daily schedule, our activities, day-trips and field days.

Interested in something a little more adventurous this summer? If you are 12 to 15 years old, perhaps you are ready for one of our Adventure Trips.
