We believe that every person is unique and
should be loved and affirmed as she/he is.
We believe that a basic community structure
is important and gives children a feeling of security, but that each child must be given
the freedom to make choices and must be nurtured in her/his individual path of growth.
We believe that people should be treated
with kindness and respect.
We believe that competition is valuable when
everyone can achieve success, but that it can be harmful when it is too intense and
emphasizes "winners" over "losers".
We believe that camp should be fun and that
"playing" is the "work" of kids as they learn about the world and
their place in it.
We believe that the positive role models
provided by camp counselors can be one of the most important influences in a child’s
life.
We believe that everything we do in camp
makes a difference in the lives of our campers.
We believe in camp and we feel lucky to be a
part of this remarkable experience.
