Summer camp represents much more than a giant slumber party. A well-run camp will provide your child with multiple opportunities to socialize, develop life skills, and learn independence. In an environment that’s structured like school yet flexible like home, campers feel free to try new things and encounter new experiences while feeling safe and accepted.

The camp atmosphere is truly one-of-a-kind. For many kids, this trip is their only chance to ride horses, go canoeing, take a fun academic class like poetry writing or chess theory, meet 50 other students who have the same passion for music or sports, or make friends from a foreign country.

Besides, camp promises way more excitement than sitting in front of the TV all summer.
