We have something for every child with activities that are structured to challenge, have them try new things and indulge in activities they already know and love. Campers learn new skills, further develop favorites and make new friends throughout every adventure.
Adventure Courses
High Ropes, Climbing Tower and Zip Line. A new adventure opportunity every day. These activities test your child’s grit and determination, as well as their ability to think while being challenged. The goal is wherever your child sets it. Our goal is to have them push past it.

Target Sports
Safety comes first, and the skill quickly follows. Our target ranges offer archery, sling shots, pellets and bb guns. After mastering all of those, a camper can graduate to shooting 22s. Learning responsibility and respect along the way, campers gain confidence as their aim improves.

Art, Science and Outdoor
Camp has something for everyone, and our Arts, Science and Outdoor programs add to the mixture of opportunities for campers to enjoy. We unleash the potential of a camper’s mind through these programs, learning from and inspiring each other, while interacting respectfully with the world around us.

Life-Building Experiences
Camp activities are operated by experienced leaders, selected not just for their skill in the activity, but for their character as role models for your child’s camp experience.
Campers can learn new things and challenge themselves in their daily choice activities through our level system. Your camper will set goals for what they want to accomplish during the week(s) they are at camp. Each activity is set up in 4 levels – to teach a child who has never participated in the activity at Level 1 through to Level 4, where a camper has mastered the activity and can proceed to impart their wisdom and skills to a camper that is earlier in their own journey. Every activity nurtures and incentivizes that skill development path, and the hope is that a camper will have found a new lifelong passion. As they complete each level, they receive patches to show their accomplishments. Each time they return, they can continue earning in their chosen activity or start a new one
