Accommodation: Campers will sleep in tents. We will have a small private camping area within the larger Walker Creek campus, where both campers and staff will sleep. Campers will be grouped in tents with similar-aged kids, and we will offer both single-gender and mixed-gender tent options. Although we are camping, we’ll have access to hot showers, indoor bathrooms, and hot food–the best of both worlds!

Food: The Walker Creek kitchen serves up a healthy and tasty breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day. The kitchen is nut-free and can accommodate other food requests (vegetarian, vegan, kosher, etc.) We’ll have a variety of nutritious snacks on hand for kids who are starving mid-afternoon after swimming! Contact us if you’d like to see a sample daily menu.

Cost: Camp tuition is $900 for the week, and financial aid is available. Please let us know if cost is a barrier for you–we want camp to be accessible to all kids who want to join us.

Daily rhythm (subject to refinement as we develop our curriculum!):
