Campers learn how to uplift themselves and others to feel safe, worthy, valued and connected to others. They experience this environment THROUGH one-week specialty programs focused on Sports, Arts, Leadership, Self-Discovery, Adventure, Recreation and Fitness.
While uniquely experiencing the Heroes Journey narrative, as they step out of their comfort zone through games, activities, dancing, programs and more. THIS IGNITES their inner flame which is their qualities, talents and values which they can share with others.
They do all this while pursuing their own goals and dreams to become the EVERYDAY HERO OF THEIR OWN STORY and join our COMMUNITY OF EVERYDAY HEROES.
