Upper Southampton's NEW Summer Camp provides a variety of camps designed to meet children's needs to create friendships, have fun and be creative. We encourage campers to tap into their strengths and then we recognize their achievements.

We want our campers to play, get dirty, explore nature, make friends and discover themselves as a member of our camp community. Camp activities include sports, environmental educa tion, theme afternoons, outdoor adventures of fishing and pond exploration, arts and crafts, swimming and guest speakers. Our campers are encouraged to try new things, learn new skills and develop old skills.

Wehave activities and staff that will, without a doubt, bring out the best in each camper this summer!

The most important factor of summer camp is the staff. No matter how many activities or special events are offered, it is the background, enthusiasm and personality of each staff member that determines whether or not camp is fun, exciting and safe.

Our counselors are selected according to their experience and interest in working with children. Our staff is enthusiastic, well trained, safety conscious and they truly care about kids. They are trained to encourage team building and create an environment where campers feel that anything is possible .

Each counselor is required to participate in our camp training program before becoming a member of our staff. All participants complete a training program and rehearsal to prepare the staff to carry out their responsibilities in emergency situations .
