What We Talk About

We have a lot of big conversations, and a lot of them use these terms, either as jumping-off points or as things we casually mention. We talk about a lot more, too, but this a good place to start.

Hidden Curriculum
The Hidden Curriculum

The secret code of a place. So, you find yourself at someone's house, huh? Now, should you remove your shoes? And where do you sit to eat? At camp, this might include how to line up, the songs we sing, and more.

Partner With
Partnering With

Instead of making decisions for people, we believe in making decisions with people. That means involving others, trying new things, and making things as easy as possible for everyone involved.

Restorative Justice (1)
Restorative Justice

Restorative practices build communities and systems that foster connection, partnership, and empathy. We use these practices at camp to enhance communication, address harm, and progress together.

Giving Campers a Voice
Giving Campers A Voice

We prioritize choice-based programming, involving kids in planning, listening to their ideas, and empowering them to make decisions. We talk about what that looks like at camp, the challenges, and why it's worth it.

Our Videos

From quick videos to share with staff to recorded webinars with experts, our videos cover a little bit of everything.
