As fun as the games are, the staff is what makes this camp special. There are 75+ incredible high school and college counselors that are all highly charismatic, mature, nurturing, and responsible, and they each genuinely enjoy being with children. Additionally, a priority of the program is to always maintain a low counselor-camper ratio, as this contributes to wonderful relationships being made. (There are also four certified teachers on staff too.)
- Registration: Due to having over 70 counselors and multiple certified educators on staff, we do not have an enrollment limit, as we can maintain our low counselor to camper ratio
regardless of how many youths register. With this in mind, if there are weeks that interest you, there will be spots available regardless of when you enroll! (Hopefully this alleviates some of the stressors that come with registering children for a summer program!) - Contact: Email Ben Young at [email protected]
