This is where I found my STRENGTH.

A camper's cabin is their first 'crew.' It's where they bond, build respect, and learn to live in a community, all guided by our trained counselors.

24/7 Supervision: All cabins are supervised by our trained counselors who live in or near the campers to provide round-the-clock support and guidance.

Cabin-mate Requests: We are happy to honor one mutual cabin-mate request per camper. Just make sure to request each other on your registration forms.

A Place to Belong: Cabin life teaches independence, problem-solving, and the joy of friendship.

I felt light and happy this week. I felt a deep connection to everyone in my cabin. I grew closer with my friend who came with me to camp.
