Overview

We engage in outdoor games, field trips and other group activities to propel social growth. Through weekly habitat restoration projects, campers build confidence and teamwork while earning a $15 weekly internship stipend. Campers participate in additional activities such as movies, sailing, therapy animal visits, swimming, bowling, guided nature tours, comedy improv games, art, and many more.

Our Campers: We welcome campers ages 8 and up who benefit from a small group environment. Some are shy, some are quirky, and some are twice exceptional. Some of our campers have a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome, autism, learning disabilities, or other similar traits.
