Our Camp Motto

We believe in camp. We believe in shorts, t-shirts and gym shoes. We believe that camp makes a difference in every child's life. We believe that camp is a place to get back to the basics in life. We believe that every child is an individual and should be treated as such. We believe in the power of play. We believe that camp encourages imagination and creativity. We believe that camp is good, NO.... we believe that camp is GREAT!
