Session 2 started with energy, creativity, and lots of new friendships! Day 1 was packed with excitement as campers jumped into sports, crafts, Gaga Ball, and friendly gaming competitions in the video game lounge. The playground was buzzing, and lunch turned into a cheerful picnic with friends.
Even when the rain rolled in, we kept the fun going indoors with dancing, crafts, rainy-day relays, and plenty of laughter. From STEAM experiments to classic games of Jenga, campers turned a rainy day into a memory-making adventure.
Our Teen campers took on Dave & Busters for Trip Day, while some Pre-Teens cracked codes and beat the clock during their first Escape Room experience—everyone escaped and celebrated with a well-earned treat!
