Why Summer Camp?
It can be difficult to explain if you haven't experienced it yourself. A great summer day camp is not simply participating in activities--although activities can be fun. What makes a great summer day camp is the people in place combined with a well-thought out plan for how to build each day and week throughout the summer. Great summer camps are steeped in traditions while looking for new ways to create the best summer ever. The relationships that are formed, nourished, and grown at summer camp are like none other.
Why Summer Camp at Camp Moon River?
Camp Moon River is special because we are camp people. Our goal is to get to know your child for who they are mentally, physically, and emotionally. We will seek to identify and nourish your child's spark, that which makes your child their best self. Camp will become your child's second home.
Is CMR All Fun & Tie Dye?
The answer is Yes…and also—CMR will strive for the following outcomes for every camper and staff member to:
Relate (In Real Life)
Develop the ability to connect person-to-person particularly while disconnecting from computers, phones, and social media.
Enhance the skills of “getting along” and being a good friend as well as learning to advocate for yourself and for others.
Self-Regulate
Manage one’s own choices; accept accountability and embrace mistakes and failure as important to growth.
Identify
Learn about and develop personal skills and spark (that which makes a person their best self).
Participate
Actively keep an open mind about engaging in activities, conversations, and experiences for the purpose of expanding comfort zones, trying new things, and stretching oneself for personal growth.
