In addition to traditional summer camps with multicultural and athletic experiences held at area elementary and middle schools, we offer a variety of specialty camps.

This summer your children can learn to climb our alpine tower or to kayak the calm waters of the Intracoastal Waterway. Does your child have a flair for the dramatics? If so, our full-day Arts & Humanities Camp will open up their creative nature with drawing, painting, poetry and dramatic performances. .

We also have sports camps tailored for football, soccer, cheerleading, gymnastics, and basketball and of course, swimming and life guarding. At these camps every child will learn the fundamentals of their favorite sport, and most importantly, they'll have fun.

Middle and high school campers can sign up to be instructors in training, learning leadership, teamwork, safety and first aid. And kids who love a challenge will want to take on our Outdoor Expeditions Boot Camp with activities focuses on fitness, including rappelling, hiking and training in military and drill ceremonies.

We also offer half-day camps that teach cooking, comedy, computers and creative writing and more for kids who can't decide if they want to be a scientist, actor or chef when they grow up. The subjects change weekly, and set in small groups with lots of individual attention, the half-day camps aim to immerse children in new subjects to explore what interests them most.
