We focus on building life skills, like confidence, determination, kindness, and positivity. We embed our values of trust, community, fun and curiosity into everything we do. We go where our campers can discover new experiences in a safe environment, giving them the freedom to explore who they really are, play in an inclusive zone, and find out what it means to be a friend. And we always go to a place where campers are embraced by the spirit and values of our camp community.
