SAFE SUMMER FUN Your camper’s safety is our number one priority. From adhering to online privacy policies for virtual camp, to following CDC guiding principles and state and local guidelines for COVID-19 safety practices, camp will be fun and safe! In-person campers will wear face coverings, and safe social distancing practices will be in place for all activities. Additionally, campers will remain in their camp pods with individual supplies and materials for each camper.

Whether you’re looking for an in-person or virtual camp experience, we have what you need! In-person campers can extend the fun by adding on the Extended Day option, with pick up from 5:00-5:30 p.m. And with drop off beginning at 8:30 a.m., parents can customize their day to meet their needs.

OUR CAMP STAFF

We have a team of enthusiastic full-time employees. All camp staff receive background checks and are required to complete one full week of camp training each year. Our staff are CPR and First Aid certified.

FINANCIAL AID

We proudly offer assistance so that everyone may enjoy the benefits of summer camp.

Please visit our website for a financial aid application to see if you qualify.
