Dates, Rates and Themes
Make your camper’s stay memorable with camp themes.
Themes help make your camper’s stay even more memorable with activities centered around buried treasure, super heroes, and more! Teen adventure camps offer a great alternative to our more seasoned campers, with a bit more thrill! And leadership camps are a wonderful option for teens looking to grow and boost their resume or something to add to college applications.
All camp sessions begin on Sundays and end on Fridays. Most camp sessions are one week, with a two-week option available for Teen Adventure Camps and Leaders In Training Camps.
Some sessions include a “Weekend Bridge” between two sessions for the professional camper who wants to stay multiple weeks. This unique experience includes pool parties, and exclusive access to camp activities before the next session of camp begins.
