Beyond the Curriculum: A World of Enrichment
  • Special Events at Each Camp: Every camp is packed with unique events, designed to surprise and delight. These range from ranger talks and demonstrations to spontaneous adventures, ensuring that every day is full of new experiences.
  • Friendships: Campers will form lifelong friendships as they bond over shared interests and experiences. These connections often extend beyond the camp, creating a network of like-minded individuals.
  • Journaling Opportunities: We encourage campers to document their journey through journaling. This not only enhances their observation skills but also serves as a cherished keepsake of their adventures.
  • Collaboration and Content Creation: Campers will collaborate on projects, fostering teamwork and creativity. They'll have the opportunity to create content, be it videos, blogs, or art, capturing the essence of their experiences.
  • Lasting Memories: The experiences at our camps are not just fun and educational; they create lasting memories that campers will treasure for a lifetime.

Comprehensive Program Costs
  • All-Inclusive Pricing: The program costs, detailed on our website, cover all aspects of the camp experience. This includes food, lodging, programming, and all necessary supplies. Campers will have everything they need for an enriching and enjoyable stay.
  • ​Travel Arrangements: Please note that travel costs to and from the camps is the sole responsibility of each camper. 
  • Deposit and Refund Policy: To secure a spot, a non-refundable deposit is required upon acceptance. This commitment helps us ensure that we can provide the highest quality experience. The full program cost for each camp becomes non-refundable after May 1st. This policy is essential for us to manage our resources and offer the best possible experience to all campers.
