School’s out, sun’s out and camp adventures are here to stay. Campers and staff will spend time getting to know each other and creating their own camp community through fun activities. Let’s embark on a summer of adventure together. 

Adventure Starts at Camp Image

Get ready for an out–of–this–world experience at camp. Campers will conduct science experiments and train for a space mission just like a professional astronaut. Suit up and prepare for blast off!  

Astronauts in Training Image

Imaginations will wander to fantastical lands where powerful dragons rule the sky and grand castles overlook the countryside. Campers will create their own kingdom, learn the skills of medieval times and complete epic quests.  

Castles and Dragons Image

Let’s get the gears spinning as we prepare for a week of engineering challenges and limitless fun. Working independently and in a team, campers will need to think outside the box as they explore exciting concepts of math and science through play.   

Young Engineers Image

Does your camper think they are the fastest, funniest or most fearless? They just might be! Campers will challenge themselves to break records and complete tasks that have never been attempted. Don’t miss out on this record-breaking week.

In partnership with ACA (American Camp Association), camps across the country celebrate Camp Kindness Week. Campers will get creative as they show appreciation to each other and the community. Activities will revolve around giving, kindness and cooperation.

Get ready for a wild week of science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Campers will collaborate through hands-on activities and group games. Come dressed to make a mess as we explore everything that our brain can do.  

Creative Sparks Image

Before we part ways, we will write an amazing final chapter. We will revisit some of this summer’s greatest games, sing our favorite songs, and remember all of the fun memories made at camp. There will be water games, art projects, group challenges, and much more. Summer camp may come to an end, but the memories last a lifetime.

Weekly Schedule  |  Days of the week and activity times may vary slightly from the provided sample schedule. You will be emailed a weekly welcome letter with camp–specific details.   

Monday Kick-Off  |  On Monday, counselors welcome campers, review rules & emergency procedures, and share weekly plans with campers.   

Snack & Lunch  |  Morning (Full-day camp only) and afternoon snacks are served daily. Campers bring their own nut-free lunch. Lunches should be packed so that they do not require refrigeration or heating. Milk is available daily for snack and lunch.  

Field Trips/Presenters  |  We are working closely with district and community partners to determine safe options for field trips and presenters. Under public health recommendation, swimming will not be offered in Summer 2021. Some camps may take walking field trips to nearby parks or other locations approved by the program director.   

Group Time  |  Campers will spend the majority of their camp week in established small groups of 12-15 campers based on age. Each small group is led by a counselor who facilitates age-appropriate, theme-related activities for their assigned group of campers.  

Friday Field Day  |  Each Friday will be celebration of the week designed around the theme. Included is an opportunity for campers to share highlights from their week and create new traditions within their small group! Staff will also lead a variety of outdoor activities and games.
