Our Camps
Staff-Led Overnight Camps:
At these camps, campers typically attend for one week, with some variability based on their program session, and are grouped by age and program into a “unit.” Each unit has two to three unit counselors who supervise campers and guide them to their activities, which are facilitated by program specialists. This is your traditional summer camp experience.

Goal 1: Connect with others and develop healthy relationships.
Campers learn to form meaningful friendships. They learn to communicate effectively and work with others—and understand when and how to seek help from others.
Goal 2: Strengthen positive values.
Campers learn to foster an awareness, appreciation, and commitment to the preservation of our natural world. They learn to respect and value diverse backgrounds, viewpoints, and life experiences, and how to demonstrate helpful and caring behavior. They recognize and accept the consequences of their actions and decisions.
Goal 3: Develop constructive conflict resolution and prevention skills.
Campers learn to recognize conflict situations. They can resolve differences in a positive manner (i.e. through discussion).
Goal 4: Learn and build upon practical life and outdoor living skills.
Campers demonstrate appropriate outdoor living skills and seek opportunities to expand their knowledge. They become more independent and develop self-sufficiency.
Goal 5: Develop leadership skills and educate and inspire others to act.
Campers gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. They assist peers and seek help from them. Campers encourage others and assist in teaching others new skills.
Goal 6: Provide opportunities for campers to feel empowered to make a difference in the world.
Campers will learn and practice environmental stewardship (i.e. minimum impact/leave no trace). They will seek to expand their knowledge and set challenging goals for themselves. They will feel they have important roles and responsibilities in their groups/communities. They will also understand the importance of volunteering in community activities to help the environment and others.
