We are putting it in gear, making plans and you don’t want to miss out. Each week we will have a different theme so Campers are in for lots of surprises. Not to mention we’ve mixed things up a bit for this summer and you don’t just want to hear about it – you definitely want to be here to see it for yourself!

From Monday morning when you arrive until Friday evening when you depart, there’ll be lots of fun and adventure. You’ll meet new friends and meet up with some of your old ones. (Hey, why don’t you bring a few friends along with you?).  And, of course, we’ll have some good eatin’!
