An great experience! My child came back more confident and with new friends from around the world.
This summer camp was the BEST! We made s’mores every night, played crazy games, and I even learned how to kayak. I made so many new friends, and the staff was awesome. I can’t wait to go back next year!

I loved how we got to try new activities every day, like rock climbing and paddle-boarding. The supervisors were cool, and we had campfires every weekend. Best summer ever!
