Summer Camps - Youth

Camps fill quickly, so register early. If you need to withdraw, a full refund will only be issued if the notice is given by noon on the

Friday before camp starts. Prorated refunds will be given after that. Withdrawals made

less than three days in advance will be assessed a $15 withdrawal fee.

Registration

Safety is our number one priority. We hire highly skilled, energetic, and caring people

who truly love working with children. All of our staff are First Aid and CPR certified, and

must pass a background check.

Staff & SafetyPayment is due prior to the camp start date. You may pay the entire balance at the time of registration, or you can pay a down payment of $10 per week and schedule your payments to be due Monday prior to the camp’s start date.

Payment

Structure & VarietyWe include a variety of activities to keep young minds and bodies active and challenged. Free choice and relaxation time provides a chance to enjoy low-key activities between more in-depth, structured projects and games. All children are encouraged to participate, but never forced. Field trips to natural areas, recreation sites, and cultural centers are fun learning experiences. We create an environment that is structured and supportive, but also fun and flexible.

We spend our days engaged in active, creative, and social activities that involve very little or no screen time.
