Our Programs
We offer a variety of summer options for children aged kindergarten and up. Our sessions provide all of our campers with the best of everything camp has to offer. We place our campers into one of seven units based on the camper’s current school grade. This way, each unit is comprised of children who are socially, physically, and developmentally on approximately the same level.
