Summer camp is a place to grow, learn and have fun! This year, kayak on the Sassafras River, explore the woods and make new friends at Day and Resident Camp at Camp Grove Point. We’re offering seven fun themes—including the ever popular Hogwarts week with Fairy Friends twist. You’ll have time to swim and hang out with friends too. At Camp Country Center, dive into STEM for three weeks—culinary creations, digital media and science. There will be plenty of time for outdoor activities too. This pamphlet includes our Summer Camp “basics,” which gives a general overview of each of our Summer Camp offerings, plus our volunteer-run summer camp. Extended descriptions, forms and registration information can be found by visiting www.gscb.org.
