The camper Staff ratio will be 3:12 for Campers ages 3-5 (Little Stars Half-Day), 2:12 for Campers ages 4-5 (Little Stars Full-Day) and 2:16 for Campers ages 5-13. Camp CaHiTo is a “group-centered” camp – our campers have the same counselor and peer group for the camp session. Group-centered camping gives children the best opportunity to experience the powerful feeling of belonging, to make and keep new friends, and to connect with their counselors.
