Superhero Academy
Campers Assemble! Not every superhero wears a cape (even though we will make capes and masks as well).

The week will culminate with graduation from our superhero academy.
Around the World
Summer is the time to travel. Join us as we travel to countries around the world, letting our imagination run wild right from summer camp.

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.

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.
Green Thumb Garden
Dirt, sun, seeds and water combine to teach campers about planning and nurturing a garden while promoting healthy eating. Campers will create their own mini-gardens to take home.
Wacky Olympics
Campers will challenge themselves and each other while playing fun-filled games and their favorite team sports. We will focus on building skills, playing respectfully, and leadership development.
