Parent Coffees & Gatherings
Two wonderful ways to learn more about summer camp & your family!!!
Because we see camp as an extension and compliment to one another’s parenting, we have so much to share together!
Our parent coffees are designed to be an informal, conversational time to talk and share ideas about the many challenges and triumphs of parenting.
Our Gatherings are a wonderful tradition of bringing our current camp community together with alumni, staff and families
who are interested in camp to share their questions and experiences. With stops at many locales around the country,
please use this directory to see our scheduled visit to a town near you! Fun is mandatory!!!!!!!
