An Innovative And Unique Summer Camp Where Teens Hang Out, Socialize, Have Fun, Build Lasting Friendships, and Create New Memories.
For youth, summer is a critical time to stay busy, socialize, have fun, make friends, and create new memories. Youth who participate in our camp benefit from real-world experiences. Participants have the chance to purchase lunch in the community, practice life skills such as decision making, tipping, money management, and build friendships in a safe and socially engaging environment.
Our program is aimed at middle and high school students and has been enjoyed by many in the past. It focuses on developing skills such as confidence, self and social awareness, self-control, decision making, and resilience, which are important for success in life.
Social Learning = Inclusiveness = Friendship = Team Building = Leadership = Lasting Memories
