Summer Camp

This summer is BIG! As we celebrate our 30th year anniversary, we are thrilled to offer our popular summer camps for the 29th time. Since the last whistle blew to close out summer camp in 2022, our staff has been hard at work making sure 2023 is an unforgettable summer camp experience for your child.

Here are a few of our 2023 Theme Days:

American Pride: (for the week of the fourth of July)  dress in red white and blue ‘cuz you’re proud to be an American where at least you know you’re free.

Jersey Day: GO PATRIOTS! Show your team pride by wearing your favorite sports jersey or dressing as your favorite sports pro!

Character Day: What a crazy cast of characters you’ll meet on this day with everyone dressed as their favorite TV, book, video game, or movie character.

Super Thursday:  Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Viking campers dressed as their favorite superhero or super villian.  Some you may recognize and some may be new ones imagined by the camper themselves. Just remember with great power comes great responsibility.
