We are celebrating our 7th year in business and 6th year offering the Kind/Brave Summer Camp.
We are thrilled to offer this unique summer day camp experience for kids age 5-12yrs in which activities are focused around growing brave and spreading kindness! From the games we play, to the crafts we create, the outdoor exploration we engage in, and the daily Karate classes…. we’re building friendships and laying the foundation for future leadership.
In addition, our weekly service projects and meetings with KIND & BRAVE community leaders will leave a lasting impression and empower our campers to find ways to make a positive impact, wherever they may go. Plus, kids love earning their life-skills badges at camp by engaging with our weekly themes, and practicing skills like FOCUS, COURAGE, EMPATHY, DISCIPLINE, and more.
By keeping our enrollment limited to just 26 campers per week, we think you’ll find our camp is among the safest and healthiest local options for kids’ fun and education during the summer.
