We aim to foster meaningful peer relationships while acknowledging and respecting the individual needs of each camper. The camp schedule is thoughtfully designed to offer a blend of traditional camp programming and personalized group activities, ensuring that your camper has a well-rounded experience. Each week, they can look forward to special event days, field trips, choice programs, and dress-up days!
