DFW DAY CAMP AT A GLANCE
Summer Camp should be safe, memorable, and so much fun. We also believe that camp should be an opportunity to teach kids to be strong, responsible, and build character and confidence. Our focus is on building positive relationships.
Our Discover Camp is crafted to be active, inspiring and nurturing. Providing an atmosphere where our young campers can grow healthy, learn creatively, and develop greater self-confidence is paramount to what we do.
