Dear Camp Families,
It’s officially the holiday season and almost time to close out 2022. What a year it has been! We “sail-a-brated” our 30th anniversary voyage with a summer of amazing activities, incredible staff and over-the-top special events. Who can forget pirates roaming the campus, the biggest Carnival ever and our Color War leaders rocking out to a lip sync battle on stage?! So many memories, so many friendships…we can’t wait to do it all again in 2023.
As we look forward to the New Year, we are excited for new activities, revamped programs and facility updates. Read below for just some of the new offerings for 2023:
- “Stingray Cay”, the brand new “Sand Playground”: New custom tropical-themed playground, “lifeguard” tower, custom play beach snack shack, new signage and fencing
- “Latitude Tech Lounge”, the renovated “Computer Room”: Full renovation including floors and walls, flex seating, interactive tablet and gaming systems, and use as the CIT Lounge
- Newly Revised “Cooking” Program for Lower Camp: New lessons plans to focus on health eating habits, nutrition, food groups and a dramatic play food market

The Leadership Team is also busy finalizing the off-campus trips and special events for the 2023 Summer Calendar. We have some incredible theme days coming up and we can’t wait to share! The calendar will be released in late winter. If your child is signed up for a Flex Program, your camp dates will be due 4-5 weeks after the calendar is posted.
