2025 Summer Camp Themes

Great Outdoors
Campers will discover the natural resources right outside our doors in nearby Capital Crescent Trail and other local trails. Not only will we be enjoying adventures in nature, but we will also learn the tenants of ‘Leave No Trace’ explorations, and create mini habitats to take home.
Summer S.T.E.A.M.
We are not talking about the temperature! Campers will enjoy a week of play and exploration that encourages new discoveries, critical thinking, and enhanced observational skills during a hands-on/minds-on week of building and creating.
Superhero Academy
Campers Assemble! Not every superhero wears a cape (even though we will make capes and masks as well). Each camper will create their own persona and learn what it takes to serve the community with superhero qualities like respect and healthy choices. The week will culminate with graduation from our superhero academy.
Wonders Carnival
Campers will showcase their creativity, teamwork, and gaming enthusiasm as they immerse themselves into a world of carnival fun. They will enjoy games they have designed, along with carnival-themed snacks and activities such as face painting, temporary tattoos, and more during Wonders Carnival Day!
 
Spirit Week
Campers will engage in exciting color games, challenging themselves and each other while building skills, practicing respectful play, and demonstrating leadership. Let the fun and teammork begin!
