Learning how to overcome fear and accomplish
goals is an important part of childhood that
often leads to some of the strongest memories.

Whether a child has never jumped off a diving
board before or spent the night in the
wilderness, they will be provided with support
from caring members of the summer camp team along
with their peers until they reach their goal.

It may seem strange to think that going away for
the summer will help a child bond with their
family, but it really is true that absence makes
the heart grow fonder.

At summer camp, kids gain independence that
provides them with a different understanding of
the importance of family.

Summer camps also offer fun family days during
which siblings and parents can observe and
participate in some of their kids favorite camp
activities.

Family camps often top off the end of the season
with a weeklong adventure that allows families to
form amazing memories as they indulge their
playful sides in an outdoor environment.

Summer camp memories fill scrapbooks, online
albums and most importantly hearts with all of
the wonderful activities that took place during
the season.

At camp, kids spend every moment of the day
engaged in activities that stimulate their mental
and physical development.

From forming close friendships to gaining new
skills, the memories made at camp last a
