The Group One experience is developmentally designed for our youngest campers. A carefully crafted schedule is intended to allow for a balance of free play and guided instruction.

With this in mind, your child will engage in a wide array of activities that are led by a dedicated team of counselors whose background and passion is in working with young children. Each one-week session is themed to spark joy and imagination that will enhance your child’s experience. To allow for further flexibility, families may choose from either a half-day or whole-day program.
