LEARNING AND ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS

Our summer education program exists to provide students the opportunities to learn and grow in a variety of natural fun yet educational environments. Our camp encourages teamwork, cooperation, physical fitness, decision making, and leadership. Our camp works at developing an appreciation for the natural environment. The program grants experiences in which the environment and the activities involved challenge students. Students are expected to participate in all activities to the fullest of their capabilities. It is through these events that individuals learn about themselves. Safety is always our main concern and at every step of our camp life this is applied.
