Summer Camp Academy

  • Our Program

    Our summer program is a wonderful place for youth to explore and interact with the world around them. In our 7-week program youth participate in a variety of activities, are introduced to enrichment opportunities, go on field trips, learn, and grow as individuals. We have a curriculum that includes activities in science, technology, engineering, math, arts, comic book design, crafts, photography, outdoor education, sports, wellness, fitness, and more! 

    Each week is a little different, but always includes:

    • a theme to spark creativity and encourage spirit in our program
    • a full-day field trip for a sense of adventure
    • choice activities to foster independence and decision-making skills
    • an all camp event to promote unity
