The aim of this camp is to give young women the tools necessary to work through the tough situations and decisions that they are sure to face in the coming years. In this camp we build self esteem and improve body image by stressing proper nutrition, importance of physical fitness and competitive spirit along with a discussion of social and media pressures on female self-image. We will create friendships by learning good decision making, proper etiquette and role play. With all of that in mind, we still have some traditional feminine fun including the creation of the Fieldhouse Spa for the enjoyment of our young lady campers and their female role model counselors.

Sometimes being a boy is exactly what the situation calls for and we will explore a variety of ways for boys to be boys in this fun and educational camp. At the same time, its never too early for our young men to focus on the skills that they will need to be leaders in the competitive world of tomorrow. In this camp we learn (among many other things) how to make rockets out of Mentos and Diet Coke, how to change the oil in your sister’s car and how to drive a Golf-Kart (don’t worry, the Karts are speed governed). We will also have a chance to discuss such issues as leadership, self-discipline and focus…tools all young men need to face the challenges ahead.

Lets get the facts on the table!! This exciting camp will explore… through scientific experiments…the reality behind all of those urban legends. Can a human voice shatter glass? How can you really find a needle in a haystack? How many balloons would it take to lift a human being off the ground? Does the combination of Mentos and Diet Coke really create an explosion capable of shooting a bottle 50 feet in the air? Everyday campers will make a final assessment…once and for all…fact or fiction.
