We are planning some super fun activities that will appeal to each group of children. We plan to offer arts & crafts, board games, gym games, quiet-time, swimming, playground time, special trips and so much more for our younger crowd. The older group of campers will spend the majority of their time outdoors at Camp Fair Haven. Their activities will include many physical activities, water activities, hiking, and team building activities. Our youngest Scamper campers will spend their time at the YMCA with indoor activities as well as outdoor games and free time. Children attending our sports camps will be busy learning more about a sport and working to perfect their own skills.

Many of last year’s staff will be returning again this year. They bring years of experience and are ready to make this summer one of the best ever for your child. All of our staff are First-Aid and CPR certified and strive to keep safety as a top priority in all activities while challenging campers to reach beyond their comfort zones.
