Summer is coming!
Kids ages 6 -15 will embark on weekly themed adventures, see new sights and learn life skills at Camp Fife and Teen Explorer Camp.
CAMP FIFE DETAILS
Campers will create new connections and reach outside of their comfort zones for long-lasting personal development. Campers unplug from technology to commune with nature, realizing their roles in stewardship of the land. Campers grow emotionally and physically during their time at camp through a diverse range of activities. These activities range from swimming, nature excursions, arts, academics, and team-building exercises, which encourage creativity and self-confidence. The program also includes two field trips a week to local museums, parks, and educational organizations.
