Our sessions are designed to give campers a consistent experience in small, stable groups. For Summer 2021, we are offering our Day Camp program in 2, 4, 6, and 8-week sessions to give camp families more flexibility this year. We always plan a full summer of unique experiences and new challenges each session. Many campers enjoy coming all summer as our longer sessions provide more opportunities for growth, friendship and fun.
