Longer Sessions Provide the Most Opportunity for Growth
Our sessions are designed to give campers a consistent experience in small, stable groups. Our Day Camp program runs in 2, 4, 6, and 8-week sessions to give 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. The value of longer sessions »
