spring daffodils

One of the most frequent questions I’m asked is:

“You’re a camp director–so what do you do the rest of the year?”

It truly takes the whole year to get this camp going–raising money, planning and executing projects, recruiting and hiring the summer team, and registering all the campers.

But when spring hits, it’s GO TIME.

So… we’re turning back on the water, finishing up the day camp bathroom project, cutting the grass, onboarding 400 camp counselors, and unpacking all the new program supplies to get ready for YOU!

More than 3600 campers are already registered for summer 2026, which feels like tomorrow.

Blink, and it will be June. SEE YOU THEN!
