There is nothing mini about the adventures of this camp. We will keep your preschooler busy for hours, sending them home exhilarated from the fun-filled days they will experience. Each day will include songs, crafts, sensory experiences, academic learning, and large and small motor skills.

Counselor in Training - Grades 9 - 11

Too old to be a camper, and too young to be a staffer, but just right for taking on more responsibility and contributing in meaningful ways. The CIT program is a fantastic opportunity to teach and mentor while polishing skills of problem-solving, dependability, and communication. CITs will work in all camps and even in the kitchen.
