What Program is Right for Me?
 | PathfindersSay goodbye to preschool! Pathfinders (sometimes referred to as "K-Camp") is designed specifically for children entering kindergarten in the fall! Pathfinders will get to know their future classmates as they use teamwork and play to overcome obstacles and strengthen their skills as we help them down the path of self- discovery. Our youngest campers spend their days learning, playing, and seeing firsthand what it means to be a kindergartener! (Available at select locations) |
 | ExplorersOur Explorers are children entering 1st and 2nd grade. No longer the youngest campers on site, Explorers look ahead to grow while learning what it takes to be leader. Explorers are independent, creative, active campers who are always on the go! Our camp counselors encourage inquiry and exploration as they navigate through the uncharted weeks of summer! |
 | TrailblazersTrailblazers are made up of campers entering 3rd through 5th grade. Trailblazers take the next big step, earning more independence, more opportunities, and "bigger, better" activities! Armed with confidence, creativity, and a passion for choosing their own path, Trailblazers delight in getting to work with their camp counselors to map out their perfect summer! |
 | RANGERSRangers are campers that are entering grades 6th through 8th. As the elders of camp, they are challenged to take their leadership skills to the next level. Rangers are young adults and are treated as such. Teaming up with our Teen and Family Department, our camp counselors plan the most engaging and advanced activities that campers will forget they aren't on their phones! |
