Units are not just age groups but small communities arranged by the camper’s grade entering this fall.
Units compete each week for the Spirit Cup by chanting, showing their camp spirit, and overall activity around camp. Please note that we are not offering day camp for ages 3 & 4 that are not entering Kindergarten, our local day camps do offer this age group for more information click HERE.
