Designed for students in Grades 2–6, this adventure-based program uniquely blends leadership, learning, and hands-on exploration. Each child receives individualized academic instruction built directly into the week, with two focused 30-minute academic learning blocks daily. Academics are intentionally woven into themed quests and challenges, reinforcing literacy, critical thinking, and executive functioning. Optional additional academic time may be added at the end of the day.

What Children Will Do and Experience
Campers take part in imaginative, high-energy adventures that build confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Activities may include obstacle courses, team sports, brain games, and science-based challenges designed to promote cooperation, communication, and resilience—all within a fun, encouraging environment.

What a Typical Day Looks Like
Each day begins with a community-building icebreaker, followed by a well-paced schedule of academic blocks, collaborative challenges, outdoor movement, and hands-on activities. The day is structured yet dynamic, helping campers build independence, focus, and leadership skills—while staying active, engaged, and excited to learn.
