summer staff 2022
A quality summer experience is much more than running around outdoors and going home tired...it's a chance for your child to discover new adventures, grow personally, make new friends and memories, in a fun and safe environment. We strive to give your child the best experience! 

Each session devotes half of the day or more on the assigned theme. The other part of the day will be spent doing traditional activities that may include, but not limited to: arts & crafts, orienteering, team building, archery, fishing and more!
