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.
 

1) Fun 

2) Recreational

3) Learning some arts and crafts skill

4) Socializing with other youths their own age

Before camp starts, MAIN PLACE will be open and supervised at 8:30 am.

Post (4:00 pm) Camp, gym will be open and supervised for Camp participants to play till 6:00 pm if you wish to pick up your child after 4:00 pm.  Running shoes are a requirement though.

On some of these camps we will be using the halls in MAIN PLACE and the outside areas to do the camp, rather than the gym.
