Adventure Summer Camp


Come join us at Future Stars Adventure Camp this summer! Our camp is modeled on the popular Adventure Education programs featured in many school curriculums, and incorporates both on-campus and off-campus activities.  Our goal is to have campers finish the program with a sense of accomplishment, self-confidence, and a stronger sense of themselves.

Experienced Physical Education teachers direct and oversee the program, with additional expertise offered from on-site staff at the trip locations. Campers will tackle numerous challenges throughout each session, as well having the opportunity to awaken and nurture their sense of adventure at some of the exciting off-campus venues. 

At our program, campers will have a positive small group experience throughout action packed days. A limited enrollment will ensure plenty of active play and adventure in this unique and rewarding program!
Don't miss out on this opportunity for personal growth in a social setting.

Adventure Camp Staff
David O'Keeffe returns this summer, and will direct and oversee Adventure Camp. Coach Dave is certified Physical Education and Health Teacher, and brings years of experience - including Project Adventure style initiatives - to our program.

We take great pride in our staff. All programs are overseen by directors who are qualified and experienced adult professionals in their field and are passionate about working with children. Assistant coaches, teachers, and instructors ensure an outstanding team of staff members for our campers. Together, our staff strive to ensure a safe and welcoming environment to help our campers build skills, character, and friendships.

Benefits of Attending Adventure Education Camps;
*Challenge by Choice. Self-determination allows children to challenge themselves and others enhance knowledge and understanding, develop new skills, change attitudes and behaviors, and build confidence.
*Collaboration. Thoughtful collaboration and team work, based on the acknowledgement of one anothers strengths, allows children to optimize performance and results.

*Resiliency. Children persist in the face of adversity, learn from failure, and adapt and evolve to become stronger and wiser.
