Programs - Summer Camps
Campus Recreation Summer Camps are available to children in Grades 1-8 (RAD Camps) and youth between the ages of 13-16 (Outdoor Adventure Camps).
Our summer camps are designed for campers looking to explore many different activities and share those experiences with other campers. At camp your child will engage in their choice of activities in a safe, supervised, stimulating, non-competitive environment.
Our choice-based format is designed to develop self-esteem, leadership skills, responsibility, and teamwork. We believe that the experiences of team sports, arts and crafts, outdoor adventure, and fun provide some of the best opportunities to achieve this goal.
Our philosophy is environmentally oriented, so while at camp our directors and counselors will be promoting environmental conciousness/sustainability in all aspects of camp; a skill that your child will take into everyday life.
