Programs

Our programs, including all sports camps, are intentionally non-competitive, so that participants can strive for personal satisfaction and growth in whatever they do. Our diverse groups of campers bring their own unique talents and aptitudes to help create a fun and dynamic summer experience for all.

Each week offers a different variety of Sports and Specialty Programs from track & field to football to Photoshop and science.
