Mission / Values / Vision

“I have the conviction that a FEW WEEKS in a well-organized Summer Camp may be of more value educationally than a WHOLE YEAR of formal education.”

Charles Eliot, who, at the age of 35, was the youngest President of Harvard University.

MISSION
Our mission is to ensure that every child, regardless of income or background, has the opportunity to experience the transformative power of summer camp—building resilience, joy, and lifelong potential.

VALUES
Equity - camp levels the playing field and should be available to all.
Joy - camp brings joy, and children that are joyful are more willing to learn and to grow.
Courage - to try new things, to discover new things about yourself.
Collaboration - it takes a whole community to support our youth.

VISION
Our vision is of a future where the enormous benefits of camp are not a privilege. Where every child has access to the joy, growth, and self-discovery that summer camp brings. Where they can unplug, explore, and become their best self.
