Here, we put kids in charge. Preposterous? Possibly. Effective? You betcha.
When you trust kids, they trust themselves. For 43 years, we’ve put kids in charge of their own learning experience. They try, fail, and learn on their own. They learn to trust their own judgment, and tackle the challenges of an ever changing world with creativity and confidence.
Campers choose minute to minute from a variety of activities including, sewing, stop-motion animation, music, sports & recreation, makers crafts, bread making, and more. They’ll decide what they want to do, and for how long. Our job is to get out of their way, cheerlead creative risks, and provide just enough guidance to make sure nobody does anything totally* asinine.
*Totally asinine: By our definition, mistakes aren’t asinine. They’re how you learn.
Buy any number of days. Use them anytime. Get refunded for unused days.
Maybe you’re the type that likes to plan ahead. Maybe you’re not. Either way, we’ve structured our fees to work around your calendar, whether you’re making it up on the fly or trying to crack the color code of a multi-tab Excel spreadsheet.
Choose a summer’s worth of camp, or buy camp by the day. If your plans change, we’ll automatically refund any unused days in full. Lunch, snacks, and all of the fun activities your kid can squeeze in between 8AM – 6PM included.

OUR TEAM
Our organization is staffed top to bottom with people who share a talent for connecting with kids. We’re not about telling kids what to do. Our work is about showing them what can be done.

DEI
We celebrate the individual by enabling campers to express themselves freely, while staff cheer them on.
We also partner with organizations to provide camp days to children who otherwise couldn’t attend. This work is ongoing & we expand our efforts each year in our quest to be a more diverse, equitable, & inclusive camp.

You’ve got questions — We’ve got
answers
We know that choosing the right camp for your family is a big deal, and you’ve got limited time to make that decision. That’s why we put together these quick answers to our most commonly asked questions. But if you’d rather talk to a real, live person–we get it. Our camp directors work year-round and are happy to chat with you–just reach out!
What’s the age range for camp?
Camp is designed for children aged 4–12.
With that said, due to local regulations, a couple states require campers turn 5 years old by a certain date, or are entering kindergarten before their first day of camp. (CO, VA, GA–We're looking at you.) Please see your local camp page for any specific age requirements.
Automatic full refunds? Are you joking?
We do like to kid, but we're serious about automatic refunds. Once a camp season has ended, we'll search through any accounts that have unused Day Passes, and automatically refund them in full. If you purchased a Summer Pass, and don't end up using enough days to justify the cost, we'll calculate what you would have paid at the daily rate, and automatically refund you the difference.
Yes–we refund the full amount you paid.
No–there are no processing fees or anything like that.
Yes–we're serious!
I can’t find my camp’s dates, hours & location!
Are there any additional fees?
Nope, you won’t find any surprise fees hiding under your kid’s bed (though we still recommend checking for other monsters).
Our all-inclusive rates include:
- All camp hours (8 AM - 6 PM)
- Snacks and lunch
- Any activities that interest your child
Plus, we’ll refund any unused Day Passes at the end of the season. Learn more about our flexible fees and magical refunds here.
I registered! What’s next?
Excellent! After you’ve 1) completed your happy dance and 2) high fived everyone at an arm’s length, you’re pretty much all set.
Once it gets closer to the start of camp, we’ll email you a link to our Virtual Orientation, which will clue you in to everything you need to know for your kid’s first day.
Have questions now? You can get in touch with your local director, or check out last year's Virtual Orientation, here.
