Comprised of two one-week sessions, campers of all grades will enjoy a balanced variety of outdoor adventure activities in age-appropriate groups (2nd-3rd, 4th-5th, 6th-8th and 9th-12th grades). We’re excited to bring you this unique summer camp experience in a manner appropriate for the current conditions and regulations.

We will be taking all appropriate COVID precautions (hand-washing and sanitizing, staff will wear masks, campers will remain in their same group throughout the week) and will do so in a loving environment free from fear.
