Four children outdoors at a summer camp practicing archery with bows and arrows.

Our summer camp serves kids ages 8-17 who live in Kent and Ottawa Counties. Summer camp experiences include physical activities like swimming, hiking and biking, but we also ensure that campers are exposed to learning opportunities with activities that may be new to them such as archery, canoeing, and workshops on a variety of topics to keep their minds active and growing.
