You’re Invited
Join Executive Director, Sara Kuljis, and Associate Director, Jessica Peterson, for monthly conversations to learn more about how children grow and thrive at summer camp! At camp, the staff meets daily on the Porch for encouragement, coaching, and planning.
Now, we invite you to meet us on the Porch!
During our monthly 30-minute morning Zoom gatherings, Directors will share our research, experience, and thoughts, and answer your questions as well, all with the purpose of helping kids have their best camp experience ever. These meetings are open to current camp families and to those considering camp for the first time.
Stay tuned for future Mornings On The Porch! We will resume in the Fall.
Mark your calendars, grab a cup of coffee, and zoom in!
