We have watched our campers grow socially, emotionally, and physically in a safe, positive environment. One-week sessions, providing flexibility to attend camp sessions around summer plans. Since 2025, we have expanded to TWO locations:
Deming Campus & Midvale Campus.

Have a blast inspiring campers to have fun and enjoy the outdoors in a well-run camp. Be a leader and a professional role model this summer! It takes great energy, enthusiasm, creativity, flexibility, and patience. Counselors truly get to know the campers, helping them with daily needs, fostering friendships & providing a comfortable learning environment. You will gain valuable leadership skills!

Counselors are expected to facilitate games and crafts, teach sports, adhere to the daily schedule, and participate in theme activities. Responsibility for the kids and a diligent eye for safety is paramount. You will not be teaching swim lessons to the campers.
