Together, we embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, understanding and empowerment through:

  • Discover Sustainability Through Art

    Unleash your creativity while learning how to turn everyday items into extraordinary works of art. Our campers will dive into the world of sustainable art through creative reuse—also known as upcycling or repurposing—where imagination gives new life and function to pre-existing materials. Campers will explore innovative ways to create while caring for the planet.

  • Explore Culture Through Cuisine

    Take a delicious journey and discover how food connects us to history and culture. Campers will explore flavors, traditions and stories from around the world, learning to appreciate different cultures through hands-on cooking experiences. By sharing and enjoying food together, campers help build a more inclusive and connected community.

  • Discover Global Cultures and Languages

    Each week, campers will dive into a new culture and language through immersive experiences. From lively dances and interactive games to engaging language activities, they’ll explore the rhythms, traditions and stories that shape communities around the world. This journey encourages curiosity, connection and a deeper appreciation for the rich diversity of our global heritage.

  • Representation in STEM

    Join us on an exciting adventure into the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and explore the contributions of Black, brown, and Indigenous trailblazers who have redefined our modern world. Engage in hands-on experiments and activities that spark curiosity and innovation.

  • Journaling + Book Club

    Every child deserves to see themselves reflected in the pages of their books. Our campers cultivate a love for reading and self-expression through daily affirmations, journaling, and our inclusive Book Club. Characters who look like them will inspire and validate their unique experiences.

  • Mindfulness + Movement

    Nurture your inner self through mindfulness and movement. Our campers practice yoga, breathing exercises, and other calming activities that promote compassion, focus, curiosity, and empathy. Embrace the tranquility of the present moment and discover the strength within.

…and more!
