Week long sessions offer skill building, artistic discovery, nature exploration, musical and theatrical performance, aquatic activities and recreation. The camp served approximately 110 children for one to seven weeks. The majority of the participants were residents of the surrounding area and were not enrolled in the school's acedemic program. Parents appreciated the opportunity to provide an experience for their children that was engaging, wholesome, creative and educationally sound during the extended summer break.
