Summer Camp

Camp Schedule Change for Summer 2024
All 2024 resident camp sessions longer than Mini Camp will end on Friday afternoon at 4pm instead of Saturday morning. Mini Camp pickup will remain the same. With this change, our wonderful, hardworking camp counselors will have two nights to sleep in their home beds to rest, recover, and be ready to welcome a new set of campers. Read more about our rationale for this change here.
