We believe that a summer camp should allow children and teenagers to create friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. Surrounded by laughter and adventure, our aim is to provide a supportive environment that allows your child to develop in a safe and beautiful setting. Over 20 years of experience has taught us that in order to achieve this, campers and parents must feel that they are in safe, capable and trustworthy hands. Many of our campers return year after year to see old friends and make new ones. We are privileged to see them progress over the years. We both have families of our own (6 children between us!) and are committed to the well-being and safety of everyone at camp.
