Say hello to the best summer adventure ever! Our campers and CITs get outdoors, adventure in nature, and create friendships, memories, and community.

With these skills, they will be ready to be leaders at camp and in their day-to-day lives. If selected, counselors will be asked to return for the camper weeks to put their skills into action (and earn community service hours). No additional fees for the weeks they return to serve as a counselor! Opportunity to earn nearly 96 community service hours for each week they return as a counselor for any of the other summer camp weeks.
