For our two youngest age groups, our camp program includes free daily swim lessons, theme based activities, nature encounters, group games, arts & crafts and more! Third and Fourth Graders will add archery, the climbing tower with zip lines and activity choices wherein each camper will choose activities and experiential learning opportunities which interest them most. Our two older age groups are even more adventurous featuring our climbing tower with zip lines plus team building and problem solving initiatives.
