Director Philosophy
"I believe sincerely in the educational, social and recreational values of resident camping. The experience of residential camping cannot be replicated in the development of a child. It provides the ideal setting for a child's future development. Camp provides and ideal environment for a young girl to grow and mature feeling valued, confident and capable. She learns cooperation, independence and an appreciation for her natural surroundings. Each summer she creates lasting memories and develops lifelong friendships. And the best part is she has a whole lot of fun in the process!"
