Campers are grouped by gender and grade level to provide optimal living and learning experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Cabins have 10-12 campers with at least two experienced counselors. Campers will grow and learn through the integrated progression of activities, and will also build relationships, character and skills.
Students aged 16 years old can apply for admission in the Leadership Program to become camp counselors. This program helps students develop communication and leadership skills through teambuilding exercises and hands-on training with senior counselors and experiences with cabin groups and activities.
Camp Activities: Campers build independence by choosing their morning activities to fit their specific interests. Afternoon activities are enjoyed by cabin groups to provide well-rounded experiences and to establish life-long friendships.
