About
the Camps
Summer is in full swing!
The June Session was fantastic! So much growth and FUN! It is apparent that camp is not about entertainment, but more about challenge, in a fun way. It is the challenge through adventure, the challenge through tennis or marksmanship, it is the challenge of living in a cabin with five other people from different parts of the country (or world), it is the challenge of fine counselors calling you to be the best you can be and so many more things that our campers encounter during a session that makes camp the great experience it has become.What a great session we just had! Campers went home tired but energized by their visions of the possibilities of their futures! Camp is liberating. Camp shows that they need not live in fear of what life might bring, but helps to give our campers the confidence to make trail ahead full of possibilities. And so importantly, so much of this is accomplished in the care of some of the finest role models you can find. You can have "Olympic village" accommodations, but without committed and incredible staff who believe in goodness and make good choices, what kind of experience will our children have? We have that staff and we are so proud of them. They made the difference in this last session and are back for the Main Session! We look forward to another great and rich time.

Internet Photo Policy
We have had internet photos during camp in the past and found that the staff we
hired to add photos to the Internet would continually end up involved in camper
support. Here, we naturally put all of our eggs into the camper basket.
We have found trying to run an internet photo service a distraction or a
pressure that we feel draws us from the mission. It requires lots of time
and oversight.
We have great staff and we work
to answer all of the campers needs. When we have extra staff, we focus on
the campers. It is our mission; it is our calling. When we do superb
work with the campers, we feel marketing will take care of its self. We
will put any photos we have on the net after camp or during camp if we get the
opportunity. Thanks.
