At Day Camp, campers will have opportunities to discover new talents, try new activities, and gain independence while building lasting friendships and fabulous memories. A typical week at camp could include arts and crafts, music and dramatic play, sports, indoor/outdoor games, water activities, and creek exploration. All campers will have adventures on our 90-acre campus, and enjoy the outdoor classroom where they can perform on stage, make music on an outdoor instrument, play in the sand dune, and have fun with traditional play equipment.
