Description & Activities:
Preschool Camp
Campers ages 3 to 5 will enjoy a day filled with exciting water and land-based activities that will help them build character, learn to share, and develop teamwork skills in a fun and nurturing environment. All campers will receive a weekly swim lesson from our trained instructors, enjoy daily trips to the kiddie pool, participate in fun activities including crafts, storytime, and games. A morning snack is provided for all campers. Campers must be fully potty trained to attend the preschool camp program.
Traditional Camp is centered around improving the well-being of children and offers daily adventures including weekly themes, field trips, outdoor activities, swimming, arts and crafts, silly songs, pickleball, gaga pit, group time, character development, devotions, and a summer reading program. We believe in each child’s individuality and intentionally focus on three areas of development: friendships, accomplishment and belonging. Breakfast, lunch and snack are provided for all full-day campers.
Sports Camps
Specialty camps can add variety to the Summer Camp experience and our sports camps are the perfect destination for every child who enjoys playing sports and being active. Our Focus is on helping campers of all skill levels develop fundamentals, teamwork, self-confidence, and new skills, while also leaving time for campers to enjoy a variety of other activities, crafts, and summer fun. Campers can choose half-day sports camp and be picked up at 12:30 pm or choose the full day and join the traditional camp in the afternoon. Sports camps include:
- Basketball Camp
- Flag Football Camp
- Baseball Camp
- Volleyball Camp
- Tennis Camp
- Soccer Camp
Teen Camp
Recognizing that middle school and high school students can get more out of a summer camp program, our Teen Camp participants learn teamwork-oriented leadership. Working together on a variety of projects, our staff and teens form a mentoring relationship. We coach our teens, providing feedback and insight into their efforts on the different tasks they take on. Local field trips, leadership workshops, and service projects are just a few of the important tools our staff use to teach teens what it means to be a leader. This camp is for rising 6th - 11th-grade students, includes breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack.
