Explorers Camp
Rising 4th-7th graders
Explorers Camp is an opportunity for middle school students to learn, grow, and thrive as “explorers” by introducing them to active, fun-facing, and innovative experiences. Focusing on youth voice and choice, campers will have the opportunity to plan their summer activities, working with staff as thought partners to enhance their daily engagement. This year in Explorers Camp, we are cultivating youth leaders by encouraging them to push past the boundaries of current thinking to produce bigger and bolder ideas, while developing the courage and resilience needed to put those ideas into action.
