Here are 10 reasons why your child will absolutely love being part of the fun this summer:

1. New This Year: Kayaking on Maggie Pond

Our brand-new kayaking program lets campers paddle into adventure — safely and confidently. Whether they're beginners or mini thrill-seekers, they'll learn water safety, teamwork, and paddling basics in a beautiful, controlled setting.

2. Ramble & Roam Nature Hikes

Let’s take a hike — literally! Our guided nature rambles get kids exploring nearby trails, spotting wildlife, and soaking in the serenity of the outdoors. It’s the perfect way to unplug and reconnect with nature.

3. Night at the Museum

Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like — and yes, it’s as awesome as it sounds. Our epic overnight event gives campers private access to the museum for games, experiments, and a magical night they’ll never forget.

4. Weekly STEM Experiments

Science has never been this fun. From erupting volcanoes to engineering challenges, each week features a new hands-on STEM theme that turns campers into curious (and messy!) mini scientists.

5. Field Trips That Spark Curiosity

We believe learning doesn’t stop at the camp door. Weekly field trips to local museums, businesses, and community spots help campers explore the world around them in exciting, eye-opening ways.

6. The Regatta: Splashtastic Week’s Main Event

Campers craft their own boats or rafts for an all-out splash showdown. Younger groups float handmade vessels while older campers build rafts and launch them into the water — complete with camp-wide cheering and drama. It’s legendary.

7. Meet the Rainbow Goose

What’s camp without a mascot? Our beloved Rainbow Goose spreads joy and a little bit of mischief wherever they go — whether it’s starting a dance party or making surprise appearances. Don’t be surprised if your child becomes the #1 fan.

8. Lifelong Friendships

From campfire songs to team-building games, friendships form fast and run deep. Camp is where silly memories and true bonds are made — and many of our campers stay friends long after the summer ends.

9. Kids Night Out (KNO)

Every Thursday sign up for Kids Night Out, camp keeps going into the evening with STEM challenges, dinner, and games at the museum. It’s the perfect midweek treat — and gives parents a much-needed evening off!

10. Our Amazing Staff

From high-fives to heart-to-hearts, our staff makes camp unforgettable. They’re enthusiastic, experienced, and deeply caring. More than just counselors, they’re mentors and role models who make every camper feel included and celebrated.

Spots Are Filling Fast!
