What they take from camp never leaves them…the friends…the music…the campfires…the education…the memories that only GUCI can provide.

Our trained staff help reinforce the value of personal responsibility, a positive attitude, and peaceful conflict resolution with children who often have experienced neglect, abuse, or are coping with other stressful situations.

I’ve got a couple of LEGO fans who would love the LEGO camp + I love the work that KDO does. What a great list!
These all sound so fun! I wish I would’ve gone to some like this when I was a kid.
This is such a great resource! I’m especially interested in the robotics camp for my stepson. Thanks for the list!
we have terrific visual art experience camps this summer at ART WITH A HEART. Teacher/student ratio is excellent and a fully equipped studio, outstanding/energetic teacher-artists, and creative minded kids make for a swell experience. To whom do I send details? http://www.artwithaheart.us
I don’t think this seems like a good list…..a google search yields better results. ??
Thanks Joyce for this comment, it’s super helpful.
Thanks for sharing such great information, I highly appreciate your hard-working skills as the post you published have some great information which is quite beneficial for me.

FYI:
As of June 1, 2020. Carmel Clay Camps said they are not taking campers past 6th grade. Due to their “numbers restrictions”(as stated in an email to me) ☹
Thank you for the update!
