Future Stars Adventure Camp is an exciting program, incorporating both on campus and off campus activities. The program is modeled on the popular Adventure Education programs that are being featured more frequently in school curriculums across the country.
The Adventure Camp programs are one-week sessions for Boys & Girls (Ages 10-16). The program aims to create a fun and positivie small group experience that fosters leadership skills and encourages campers to challenge themselves.

Who are your staff members?

What are the ratios?
Typically, between 8-10:1. Exceptions are Tennis (6:1) and Little Stars (4:1)
What happens during inclement weather?
Camp still runs as planned. If possible, we prefer to have our programs continue with their normal programming. However, if and when inclement weather mandates we go indoors, we have ample indoor space to utilize at main campus. Occasionally, the multi-sport program will take off-site trips on rainy days, such as bowling, air-trampoline, etc.
What happens on really hot days?
Our experienced coaching staff will take additional water/shade breaks throughout the day. There are shaded areas and tents around the athletic fields where groups can rest between activities. Campers are able to cool-off by our misting fans or even take a quick run through the sprinklers that we turn on. Pool time and/or Water Park time would also be extended for that day, not to mention access to air-conditioned indoor space.
