CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Our summer camps Rio Vista for boys and Sierra Vista for girls offer over 40 exciting and challenging activities that campers choose from. Every camper gets to choose 8 or 9 activities depending on the term that make up their personalized schedule. This allows each camper to focus on the activities and skills he/she is most interested in developing. Horseback Riding and Swimming classes are assigned according to skill level and some sports are also divided by age and skill level. We want campers to learn skills, and have fun in a safe supervised environment while interacting with other campers and staff. Classes are approximately one hour and campers will participate in two or three activities in the mornings depending on the term and two in the afternoons, alternating four or five on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and another four or five on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Our 17 year olds who are too old to be a camper but not yet counselor age have the opportunity to join the C.I.T. Program where they will learn leadership skills, teaching ideas, and have a great time transitioning into counselors.
