Adventure Camp - CANCELED

Instructor: Jean Marc Schafer, Sandrick Jackson
1 weeks
Adventure Camp is back again! And we're taking on our favorite destinations including Driven Raceway, Six Flags, Stinson Beach, and Paintball Jungle, for the best summer yet!

Wednesdays are a home-base day for some on-site camp fun and to provide a mid-week break from traveling. Scavenger hunts, water fights, relay races, local hiking outings, massive slip and slides and mini olympic tournaments will keep the fun going. Pizza lunch is included on these home-base Wednesdays! Pick up time is 3pm on Wednesdays.

On travel days (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) campers will divide into small groups for our fun-filled days based on their age and interests. Whether your child is 8 or 15 years old, this is a great place to meet friends and enjoy adventures which take them to all the places they dream of going.

**Permission slips: some trips require an additional permission slip, they can all be found on the Info page of our website. Completed forms must be returned to our office BEFORE the first day of camp.**

Wear sunscreen. Bring a water bottle, snack and lunch (when lunch is not included, see calendar).

Trips are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.

Please note: Adventure Camp has changed into a four day camp, Monday-Thursday**.
**If your camper would like to attend a camp on Friday from 9am-1pm, please contact our office.
