With an increased emphasis on nature connection and outdoor play, our camps are full of activities that encourage participants to explore, create and play in a positive and inclusive environment. Activities such as active games, crafts, sports, swimming and more, take place both in and out of the facility. Camp activities vary from one camp to another and are determined by the season, facility availability and the duration of the camp.

Our summer field trip locations are determined closer to each camp start date. See the online camp newsletter for details, in the week before your child’s camp.

They have diverse backgrounds and skills to bring to the camp experience and are passionate about collaborating to create an environment where each camper feels welcome and celebrated for their uniqueness.
