Morning Movement Time (Daily at 9:30am)
Some of our campers like to sleep in, so we are focused on afternoon programming, but if you are awake and want to move, you can start your day with camp.
Yoga (Monday-Wednesday-Friday): Foxx will lead participants through an accessible routine
Step Challenge (Tuesday - Thursday): Put on your walking shoes and see how many steps you can get - this will be a walk and talk, so people can walk and share stories.
LT Programming (Daily from 11:00am-Noon)
For campers age 15 and older, we will have programming focused on character strengths, leadership styles, and skill building. These sessions will bring together some of our older campers and younger staff to learn and share as campers think about making the transition to adulthood.

Our evening programming is a chance for families and younger siblings to get in on the fun. These sessions will be open to the family.
