EXTENDED DAY TRADITIONAL CAMP

Campers that choose to register for the full day fill their afternoon with camp games, crafts, and activities that touch back on the specialty of that week. Campers will also swim two afternoons each week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Throughout the summer, campers will have the opportunity to participate in various activities both in and outdoors. Relationships are a key piece of what makes summer day camp unforgettable which is why we focus on the three key drivers of impact that inspire healthy youth development journeys: achievement, relationships and belonging.
