All camps are open for ages 8yo through a senior in high school. We are following the same format as last year better accommodate our three camp tracks. Please pay special attention to dates for each camp track-- Not all camps start and end on the same day. Beginning Basics and Intro to Reasons run at the same time on the 16th so participants can only register for ONE of these two camp tracks. If they complete one of the two camp tracks on 16th and want to come back on the 17th for the Advanced camp they can register for that camp as well. They do not have to register for a camp on the 16th to register for the Advanced Reasons Camp.
