Character Education at Future Stars

S.T.A.R.S. stands for Safety, Teamwork, Attitude, Responsibility, and Sportsmanship. These interconnected values define what it means to be part of the Future Stars family and show campers how one positive choice can strengthen the whole community. By understanding and practicing these values, campers learn the impact they can have on their team, their peers, and the world they live in.

Each day, our professional coaches and educators highlight one value through fun, hands-on activities. Campers discuss why it matters and put it into practice in games, challenges, and outdoor adventures. Whether on the baseball field, in a chess match, or on a paddle board, we help every camper develop the skills and confidence to shine as a Future Star in any community.

INTINERARY

Each week is shaped by the weather and the world around us! Our Adventure Camp explores a rotating mix of incredible local destinations and activities, which may include:

P&L Watersports — Water safety, swim instruction, kayaking, and paddleboarding

Fishing Clinics — Hands-on fishing experiences with local guidance

Quogue Wildlife Refuge — Environmental hikes, nature exploration, and wildlife discovery

Meschutt Beach — Beach day, water play, and coastal exploration

Indian Island County Park — Outdoor exploration, trails, and nature discovery

Throughout the week, campers enjoy group problem-solving puzzles, environmental scavenger hunts, team-building games and challenges, communication challenges, arts & crafts, relay races, and more!

Our schedule is intentionally flexible — exact activities and destinations each week are subject to change based on weather conditions and availability. Each activity is not guaranteed each week. We'll always make sure campers have an amazing day, rain or shine!
