      Is your child adventurous and open to trying new things?

Does your child enjoy running around, hiking, and being

outside? Does your child like music and dance? Then the

answer is probably yes!

​

My child has specific needs, can they be accommodated?

     We welcome children of varying needs including those who are neurodivergent during all of camp weeks. While we don't offer specific one-on-one support if your child has an aid, they are welcome at camp. Our Neurodivergence Week is a specialized week that offers smaller group sizes, and shorter classes so we encourage you to check out that week in case it's a good fit. Please contact us directly if your child has particular needs so we can discuss whether we can provide for them and/or if you have questions.

​

What are your staffs qualifications?

      All of our staff have extensive experience with children, while our specialized music/dance teachers additionally have extensive experience in their modality- all of them considered masters in their artform. Please visit the Staff section for more about each teacher. All of our camp counselors are CPR/First Aid certificated, fingerprinted, have passed background checks, and went through our extensive camp training.

​​

What happens during choice time?

      Choice is a time for children to explore their surroundings. They can choose from a variety of activities including arts/crafts, nature projects, games, and books. This time will vary according to the desires of the group as well as the age range.

​

Is snack/lunch provided?

      No, please provide your own snack and lunch from home.

​

Is your camp nut-free?

      We are not nut-free, however, if we have a camper with a nut allergy, we will do our best to restrict nuts and nut butters in their group to allow for a safer experience. Please let us know about any allergies in general!​

​

What happens if my child has a fever, feels sick, and/or is found to have nits/lice?

      We will contact you and expect your child to be picked up ASAP. Nobody wants to be out at camp when they aren't feeling well and, as we all know, nits/lice are very contagious. The health/safety of our campers and staff are always top priority so everyone stays well.
