Programs and Benefits
The camping experience is invaluable to both campers and staff. Camp is an experience that will stay with you throughout your entire lifetime. It's a place where counselors meet new friends, learn about themselves, determine careers, and in some cases, meet their future husband or wife. The benefits of and feelings about camp will be carried with you forever. Camp is a special place where dreams come alive for campers and counselors alike. Your hopes and dreams and those of your campers can only come to fruition with your efforts, love, energy and enthusiasm.
