camp endeavorFind your passion. Explore your world.

Camp Endeavor is more than atraditional camp, it’s a place wherecampers can find and pursue theactivities they are passionate about.

We believe that campers in this age range should have choicesbeyond the traditional camp fare, so we’ve built a schedule toaccommodate them. Campers choose areas of interest, suchas outdoor adventures, performing arts, visual arts, science orathletics and they have multiple opportunities to pursue themduring the course of our five-period day.

Free Choice Activities periods give campers the opportunity tocontinue exploring their areas of interest. We also set asidecommunity time because we know it’s important for kids tohave the space to socialize. During community time, camperscome together and take part in camp wide activities, such as arousing game of capture the flag, a fast-paced pick-up game ofbasketball, a free swim in the pool or relaxing in the shade witha group of friends and a roll of Gimp.

If your son or daughter is looking for an engaging way to spendthe summer, Camp Endeavor is the perfect choice.
