Explorers is…
designed using a project-based and Common Core learning curriculum to foster a love of learning and build confidence. Taking full advantage of the incredible resources at camp, children learn through inquiry. The program places an emphasis on hands-on learning in the outdoors.
During a four-week period participants have academic instruction with a focus on project based learning and also participate in camp activities including swimming, hiking nature trails, art and music classes and team sports.
