Camps Overview

Great summer experiences. In all shapes and sizes.

No two campers are alike. And from one year to the next their interests and curiosities change and grow. Their summer experiences should, as well.

ESF’s summer programs play at many levels, with each activity designed to appeal to its specific age group. So every camp, at every age, promises something new. Because one size does not fit all.
