About Us
Our summer camp is designed to provide a fun opportunity for children to explore and discover their own interests, talents, and gifts. We believe that each child has something special to offer our world, and more specifically, our community and the people around them. As children grow, it’s only natural for them to create and share with others. We are dedicated to fostering an environment in which joyful discoveries take place, inspired work happens, and genuine sharing follows.
