*Camp Philosophy*
"Our camp is built upon the principles of nature, education, and fun, with safety as our top priority. We believe that connecting children with the natural world enhances their understanding and appreciation of the environment. Through educational activities, crafts and experiments, we aim to foster curiosity, creativity, and personal growth. All of this is achieved within a safe and secure environment, ensuring that every child can fully enjoy their camp experience, and every parent can feel at ease dropping their children off with us."

"My 9 year old daughter had in her words, 'the best week ever'. She met new friends and learned a lot about nature."

- "Spring Break Camp Survey Response"
