Our camp is designed for a 10 to 1 or 12 to 1 camper-to-staff ratio during scheduled activities depending on age. We frequently travel to and from activity sites by bus and fill our day with structured learning opportunities, games and large group interaction. Therefore, this camp may not be the right fit for every child. If you need help in determining whether this camp is right for your child, please contact us.
