Our camps are open to the public and are designed with our school values in mind. We strive to develop creative thinking and problem-solving skills through hands-on activities. Our faculty designs each of our camps to maximize learning, creativity and fun! In the daily schedule, structured activities are carefully balanced with free play and outdoor exploration. While students spend time playing and socializing with friends, they also learn valuable skills that last a lifetime.
