  1. Overnight Camps

    • At Overnight Camps, kids stay overnight and have fun exploring, playing, and making new friends in a safe environment. They get to experience exciting adventures and activities while staying away from home.
  2. Full Day Camps

    • Full Day Camps are all-day programs where kids can join in on themed adventures like Olympics or Space Exploration. Parents can drop off their children in the morning and pick them up in the evening, knowing they're having a blast in a safe and supportive environment.
  3. Enrichment Camps

    • Enrichment Camps let kids dive deeper into subjects they love, like cooking, LEGO engineering, or art. Each week, there's a new focus to help kids explore their interests, learn new skills, and have fun doing it.
  4. Sports Camps

    • Sports Camps are for kids who love playing sports like basketball, soccer, dance, and more. They'll improve their skills through drills, games, and teamwork activities while having a blast with friends.
  5. Teen Camps

    • Teen Camps are perfect for older kids in grades 9-12. They'll enjoy traditional camp activities like swimming and archery while also developing leadership skills that will help them in the future. Programs like Counselors in Training (CIT) and Adventure Camps offer a mix of fun and skill-building.
