At Center Day Camp, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for every camper. Our counselors use positive reinforcement to foster a sense of belonging and connection. They emphasize respect, kindness, and character to create a positive atmosphere of acceptance.
Our program emphasizes universal values, such as integrity, honesty, and responsibility. We also strive to help campers build confidence, make new friends, explore new interests, and learn new skills. We believe that each and every camper should be valued and celebrated, and our program is designed to foster that belief.
