What is special about our camp?

At Adventures in Camp, LLC we are a teacher made and teacher run summer camp. Our staff are current professional educators, or in college to be future educators. Being current educators or in school to become educators, means we can use our skills, strategies, training and past experiences to help provide the best environment for our campers.  Talk about Teacher Run Summer Fun!

There is at least one CPR, First Aid, and Asthma trained and certified counselor per maximum of eight to ten campers. This is in addition to our extensive training that all of our staff go through yearly. If there are more campers in their group, an additional adult that is certified in all areas, will be with the group. This way the campers will be highly supervised and receive all the attention they deserve!

Campers ages 4 through 12 are invited to come to our camp. Campers are grouped by age, we try our best to separate siblings so that all campers enjoy their stay at Adventures in Camp. Make sure you are ready for a day FULL of FUN!! This summer camp has a variety of daily activities that everyone enjoys. We have fun playing sports and games outside, making arts and crafts, going on nature walks, practicing for our talent show, and playing games inside. Once a week there is a field trip, and Friday is our talent show performance, pizza, ice cream, and swimming day.
