From our five year-olds, all the way up to our teens, every camper receives a positive outdoor experience. Each week, your child will trek through days filled with fun and engaging activities. Learning to fish, paddling a canoe, shooting a bow and arrow, mastering a swim stroke and scaling a rock wall are some of the valuable lessons your child may receive from us. E n t hu sia s m Our staff members are a caring, diverse and professional team of individuals. They are trained to teach, guide and participate with the children in all of the activities. Our programs are designed to maintain at least a 1:6 counselor/camper ratio at all times. As youth development professionals, our staff understand their roles as models and mentors to your children.
