TESTIMONIALS: “Camp for our family has been a summer staple. The experience has fostered independent thinking and self-reliance and presented an opportunity for my girls to step out of their comfort zone – meeting new people and exploring unfamiliar adventures. It’s truly a week of personal growth in a safe, beautiful setting, supported by amazing leaders.”

– Parent, 2017 camper “Thank you very much for the scholarship. I enjoyed getting to meet new people and learn new skills. I loved how enthusiastic the staff was and how they made sure there was never a dull moment. This was a great experience and I hope I can come again.”
