A part of camp is stepping outside your comfort zone. There are the everyday challenges of waking up, getting ready, & making it to the Ball Field in time for Flag Raising. There's challenging your skills, to make it two holds higher on the Climbing Wall than you've ever done before, or to get a bullseye in Archery. Then there are the social challenges of making new friends, resolving conflict at the Gaga Pit, being away from home for the first time. Camp is a great environment where campers have the opportunity to step out of their comfort zone, into their challenge zone, & grow as people while they're here, & get to take those skills with them for the rest of their lives.

Spaces are still available! Enroll today!
