Summer Program

Welcome to Camp CAYA!  We look forward to a summer full of fun physical activities, joyful exploration, play, and friendship!

Ages: We have three 2-week sessions of camp for children between the ages of 5 to 15 years old. We’re also accepting Teen Counselors between the ages of 13-17. 

Daily schedule: All sessions run from 8:30am to 3:30pm. The majority of the day will be spent outside. Campers spend joyful days enjoying nature and one another’s creativity, and partake in collaborative skill-building workshops. Each day includes physical activity, nature exploration, free play, and arts & crafts. Campers are in cohorts of no more than 12 children.

Values: CAYA emphasizes the values of respect, kindness, inclusivity, cooperation, and compassion.

Staff: CAYA Summer program is staffed by experienced educators and trained counselors. All staff are focused on supporting children’s social and emotional development through the joys of diverse immersion experiences.

Transportation: Round trip transportation to field trips will be provided on select weeks. Should a parent/guardian like to transport the camper(s) to and from the designated field trip locations, a staff member/counselor would need to be made aware 24 hours in advance.

Cost: FREE! We ask that parents/guardians contribute by making a tax deductible donation of their capacity by clicking here.
