Second Week Opportunities

We are happy to announce that once again this summer we will be offering the second week, half price discount! We are also expanding the discount to apply to all of our summer camp programs.

Just register for a week of camp at regular price and the second week, and any subsequent weeks, are offered at half price! Any week, any camp. You may mix and match any of the camps and weeks we offer! Don't miss out on this outstanding opportunity.

Here are some of the highlights & values of additional weeks of camp: Each week offers a different theme and activities Day Camps offer before and after-care do you don't have to take time off from work to bring your son to camp Each week of camp focuses on the core values of Scouting - Unlike other camps, instead of just having fun, your son is learning valuable life skills and lessons Studies show that programs like summer camp help combat summer learning loss1 On average, syudents who don't participate in summer programs lose about two months of math and reading skills over the summer when they are not in school2 Most children - particularly children at high risk of obesity - gain weight more rapidly when they are out of school during summer break3
