SHARE IN THE CAMP ADVENTURE
Camp Photos
While we love capturing special moments through photos and videos, our main focus is being present with campers, creating a safe, supportive environment where screens are minimized and meaningful connections with nature come first. That means there may not always be a ton of photos to share, but rest assured, the magic is happening all around us.
We’ll start sharing photos in the albums below during the second week of camp and will keep adding snapshots of the adventure as the session goes on. The password to access the albums will be shared with families via email.
