Why Camp?

You are here:

Camp provides our children with the opportunity to learn important lessons about community, character-building, skill development, and an appreciation for the outdoors. Check out all the benefits below.

Enriching the Lives of Children camps build skills necessary to prepare campers to assume roles as successful adults. Parents, campers, and camp staff independently reported growth in areas such as self-confidence, independence, making friends, exploring and learning new activities. Indeed, camp provides growth experiences for youth that can benefit them through adulthood.
