Introducing Camp E.D.G.E.

Educate, Develop, Give, Experience
A new camp for kids entering grades 6-8

Prepare your teen for the real world while having a blast and making friends! This camp is perfect for kid's grades 6-8. Camp E.D.G.E teaches responsibility, cooperation, teamwork, leadership, goal-setting, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and the rewards of giving to others. Your child will leave with a sense of accomplishment and esteem that will follow them through school, work and beyond.

Campers will participate in supervised volunteer activities at local not-for-profit organizations as well as in experiential learning at challenge courses, rock climbing venues and high ropes courses. Outdoor adventurous field trips including canoeing, orienteering, hiking, outdoor cooking and other activities will round out their experience.
