Your children have a chance to get a little messy, make new friends, learn a little more about themselves & build their self-esteem. Our summer camps give children the opportunity to jump out of their comfort zones and into exciting, healthy, and safe new worlds to discover and explore!

Our campers spend time every day in the great outdoors, are part of a team & have a sense of belonging. Most importantly, they have a chance to be just kids, getting the most out of summer!

For all summer camp registrations, select the age-appropriate camp that interests your child based on the grade he/she will be entering in September 2023.  Depending on the camp, there are several options to choose from, including: 7-week, 4-week, 3-week, early summer and end-of-camp options.  Check specific camps for details. Are you looking to participate week-by-week? Check out our sports and specialty camps!
