Overview

    

     This camp is to provide a non-athletic set of activities for youths to enjoy.

     The Camp has lots of activity.

     The Camp is based somewhat around growth needs based on the skills of the campers,
     i.e., we go where the kids will grow.

     Camp is sprinkled heavily with positives everywhere.

     Paint, glue, etc. ruin cloths, so for this camp we ESPECIALLY recommend youths wear "grubby" cloths
     all week to advance their fun and freedom in the camp's activities.

 

Purpose  

1) Fun 

2) Recreational

3) Learning some arts and crafts skill

4) Socializing with other youths their own age
