Whether they are soaring on the zip line, working in the blacksmithing shop, or singing songs around a campfire, your child will find a community built on connection, kindness, and belonging.

We offer programs for ages 6–15, ranging from our 6-day “Starter Camp” for first-timers to our traditional 9-day and 13-day sessions.
