02. Program

Our program is a healthy mix of set scheduling and free choices. On Day 1, campers choose their "Electives" which they will do once a day, each day of the week, a skill & activity they will work on throughout the week. "Flex" is an activity that is inspired by and created by our camp staff. The schedule is a nice balance of Electives and Flex programming, allowing for exploration of the camper's own interests and also being guided to new areas of interest.

03. Staff

1:4 staff to camper ratio allows your camper to work in small groups and make meaningful relationships. Our Camp Counselors are trained, certified, and experienced with qualifications in outdoor education, camp education, life skills and more! Our staff return rate is the highest in the business.
