Why Camp Is the Perfect Place to...
...learn about others
Like no other youth activity, camp has the ability to shape life-long attitudes and behaviors. It is a place where children are treated as individuals, and where authentic relationships are built through shared experiences among peers and trusted adults.
...celebrate differences
When camp is racially diverse, everyone benefits. When youth from different cultures and life experiences learn to live cooperatively and exercise inclusion, they develop cross-cultural understanding and build authentic friendships. Returning participants nurture those relationships year after year, and many friendships continue into adulthood.
...learn about yourself
Sleepaway camp supports social-emotional wellness by providing respite from the stress of daily life. Our partner camps offer beautiful, natural environments where youth can practice mindfulness, challenge themselves to try new things, and be just who they are within a caring camp community.
