Every moment was designed to build genuine connections and empower choices, creating a true camp-family atmosphere where everyone belonged. ❤️
White Water River Thrills—All Summer!
🌊 A 2025 Water Wonderland: Every child had a thrilling day on the water, with safety and smiles as our top priority.
Campers chose high-energy adventures like Whitewater Rafting, Bellyaking, and Aquatreking, or beginner-friendly fun with Sit-On-Top Kayaking and Mini-Rafting.
With new twists weekly, even our two-week campers enjoyed fresh adrenaline all summer long! 💦🚣
