Summer Camp

 
Our Summer Passport program welcomes children from over 20 countries and brings together friends from all over the globe.  Our inclusive and diverse community allows campers to learn from each other and to appreciate cultural similarities and differences in a fun, creative, and safe camp environment.
 
We offer a variety of enrichment programs tailored to your child, from ages 21 months to 13 years, including science & nature, music & movement, arts & crafts, swimming, field trips and more! Finding the right summer program for your child can be overwhelming. We hope to make this process as seamless as possible. Your camper's passport to adventure has arrived!
