How it works:  ​

 

- We partner with fantastic local organizations that are seeking to host our programs. 

- We handle participant sign ups through our registration system. (Optional) This allows us to create detailed descriptions of our camps complete with pictures and program outlines, take payments, and communicate with parents.

- Our team will create marketing materials for your sessions (Optional - Flyers, Social Media Posts / Ads, Pop-Up Events, etc.)

- Experienced and background checked staff come in and facilitate all programs! We aim to keep a 1:14, or better, staff to participant ratio. 

- Sessions normally run a total of 6 days, 60-90 minutes each day, but custom session lengths are available.

               

- During facilitation, activities change every 10-30 minutes, regardless of the program, helping us keep participants interested and engaged while they're with us.

- All activity sessions are discussed afterwards to add educational value. Staff are taught to ask participants thought provoking questions aimed at making them think, develop problem solving skills and learn from their mistakes.
