Summer Day Camp

A Summer of Belonging

Friendships & Connection

At Summer Camp, we nurture a strong sense of belonging and character through a structured yet joyful summer experience. Each day begins with community reflection, ensuring every camper feels seen and valued within our schedule, fostering quick friendships through shared experiences like games and songs. Our ‘Character Counts’ program reinforces our core values: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, while our dedicated counselors provide a safe and supportive environment where every child truly belongs. Beyond this foundation, camp bursts with engaging daily activities, from gaga ball and pool time to gymnastics and a camp talent show, all thoughtfully planned to create lasting memories and opportunities for exploration and creativity.
