What Activities Campers Participate In…

Camp operates during the summer for 10-12 weeks

The average attendance per week was 21.8 kids over the ten weeks camp operated

Camp attendance has been unpredictable over the past 4 years soaring to over 50 per day at one point

The drop in attendance and the introduction of the administrative fee caused us to restructure the program

More Benefits…

“Camp C-Woo is a great place to work! I am going into Early Childhood

Education and the skills I have learned this summer will aid me in the

classroom one day. Two skills I was able to develop are communicating with parents in a positive manner and

encouraging play as a way of learning.”
