From the moment campers arrive, we're immersed in activities that build character, confidence, and self-esteem. New concepts and ideas are introduced to inspire curiosity, creativity and exploration. Campers form strong bonds, learning what it means to be part of a group and work as a team.
Each session entertainers, special events and field trips are coordinated with our weekly camp themes. Our Camp Specialists head up our afternoon activities which may include: Natural Wonders, Mix It Up, Amazon Artists, Dancetinations and Drama.
Senior Staff is composed of many of our Y preschool teachers and local teachers in our community. Our staff is well trained and qualified, serving as positive role models for all. We work year-round to create an experience that benefits both you and your camper.

Parent Shout-Outs:
"I want first of all to tell you how grateful we are to your entire amazing staff and counselors for a wonderful summer. Sam had such a great time and it was such a relief to know that he was happy (more than just happy though--ecstatic) during what could have been a very difficult transition into becoming a big brother. He made some really good friends this summer... Thank you"!
"In two months our son grew so much- he became so responsible, learned how to show he cared for others, found his place and voice in larger group settings, and had so much fun along the way. The counselors … were amazing…mature and professional…and we felt he was in the best hands. THANK YOU!!"
