Cascade Summer Camp
Ages 10-13:
Our nationally accredited summer camp provides a supportive and enriching environment for kids to grow. Our kids gain skills through movement-based therapy (building upon our Kids in Motion curriculum) as well as team building and leadership development on our experiential challenge course. Campers volunteer on a stream restoration project, experiencing the pride from service to the community, and also pursue fun field trips and activities such as art studios, comedy improv/theatre sport, indoor rock climbing, guided nature tours and other fun excursions.
Who We Serve:
Our students, ages 10 to 13, have tremendous potential and creativity but have often experienced academic challenges, difficulty finding friends or low self-esteem. They need the opportunity to build personal leadership skills, identity and purpose in a positive group environment. Our campers may have mild depression, anxiety or other mental health concerns, although this program is not designed to serve kids with more complex emotional or behavioral needs.
Summer Program Dates:
The camp runs for eight weeks from 7/5 to 8/25. Sessions are Monday to Thursday, 9:30 a.m.—3:30 p.m. Please note that the first session is Tuesday to Friday.
