Goals & Values

We understand that families have many options for quality camps and are honored that you've chosen us. Our children are our community’s most valuable resource, and your trust means everything to us.

Here’s some information to help you get to know our programs better. We look forward to creating memories with your children, providing a safe and fun camp experience.

  • Community Enrichment: We enrich campers' lives with field trips to local event and entertainment venues. Trips are included in the program fees, and a detailed calendar will be provided. Supporting local businesses promotes economic growth and enhances our campers' experiences.
  • Formative Experiences: We hire experienced, passionate staff and maintain new equipment and facilities. Our creative games, sports, and activities are engaging, trendy, and inclusive, encouraging campers to explore new interests and experiences together.
  •  Social Growth: Our camps foster healthy personal relationships between campers. We work to help children make new friendships and empower them with social communication skills to maintain those relationships.
  •  Play: We offer diverse recreational experiences with professional staff, new equipment, and well-maintained facilities. Campers are encouraged to try new activities and partake in different interests together.
  •  Inclusion: We emphasize friendships, accomplishments, and belonging. Partnering with Kids at Hope and Tykes and Teens, we train our staff to believe in the power of inclusion. We believe all kids are capable of success—no exceptions!
  •  Safety: Safety is our top priority. We plan activities and policies with a focus on the physical and emotional well-being of every camper, ensuring a positive camp experience.
