Cooking Through the Rainbow

Young chefs will truly come to life in this dynamic cooking experience! Grades 3 - 5. Mornings, July 9 - 13.

This more advanced cooking class discovers cuisine and technique from other countries.

Camp Vision returns August 13 - 17, 2012.
Improving the Future for Children with Learning Differences
Camp Vision works to improve the self esteem of our campers through a mentoring relationship with our counselors who also have learning disabilities.
Further, art empowerment, independent learning projects, and outdoor activities help campers gain self esteem and self advocacy skills that are imperative to success both in and outside of the classroom.
