Both programs operate on a full-day schedule from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, providing a structured yet flexible summer experience with an “away-camp feel” right in the local community.
The camps feature an innovative, well-rounded curriculum that emphasizes STEAM learning, physical wellness, creative expression, and outdoor exploration. Daily activities include arts and crafts, music and movement, sports and physical education, adventure games, archery, swimming, and weekly water play activities. Children participate in themed weeks, daily camp circles, and can choose from adventure clubs based on their interests. The program incorporates mind-body connection activities such as yoga and breathing techniques, along with culinary arts experiences and special field trips throughout the summer.
All programs are led by trained and committed counselors in intentionally designed learning spaces that encourage growth, exploration, and outdoor time. The camps prioritize children’s overall health and wellness with school medical professionals on staff. Meals and snacks are included daily, and the flexible weekly session format allows families to choose the weeks that work best for their schedules.
