Activities

Our list of activities is structured specifically to engage campers by building confidence. We know learning a new skill or honing an established one does just this. We encourage all campers to try a new activity during their visit, but we respect their choice to spend as much time as they can on an established skill that they are truly passionate about.

There are three activity blocks a day during the camp, and each block lasts two hours. Campers will rotate through activities according to a schedule, breaking for lunch midday.

During your signup, a Camp Coordinator will work directly with you and your child to curate a personalized activity schedule that reflects their interests and activity level.
