*Please note that final groupings may not always follow the exact age groupings listed above. Weekly groups will be formed by the Camp Director based on enrollment. Please contact our office if you’d like to request that your camper be placed with a sibling/relative/friend. Requests must be received by June 1st.

Throughout the week, campers will engage in activities, games, and crafts focused on the weekly theme! They will also spend time gardening, cooking, visiting with our farm animals, and enjoying classic summer camp experiences like splashing in the creek!

*Please note that some weekly themes are repeated throughout the summer. Weeks with the same theme will follow a similar format and most of the activities, games, and crafts will be repeated. For this reason, if you are registering a camper for multiple weeks, we recommend selecting weeks with different themes.
