Our full-day camp operates five days weekly with structured educational and recreational activities. Designed for ages 5-13, it combines supervised learning with team-building exercises and creative projects. The program includes daily themed events and culminates in end-of-week showcases for families.

Three-and-a-half-hour morning sessions focus on core educational activities and introductory skill development. Ideal for younger children or those new to camp experiences, this option maintains the same safety standards and staff-to-camper ratios as full-day programs.

Curriculum-based activities integrate STEM concepts through hands-on experiments and collaborative projects. Certified educators lead age-appropriate lessons that emphasize practical application of mathematical, scientific, and literacy skills in outdoor settings.
