Our camps exist to provide an
environment for young people to live, learn, and share with others as they
discover and build individual skills and become closely involved with the
environment. These three goals are essential to the whole development of a
child. By living and learning with other youth, an individual begins to know
themselves better. The relaxed environment provides relief from the stress
of daily life. Camp is changing to meet the ever present need for a safe,
fun environment for learning.
