The driving force in our Cornerstones & Camp is social-emotional development. It is the thread that is woven into every aspect of camp. It is why Kidventure was founded and why Kidventure is so important today. Kids need a place to learn from one another, practice their skills, have fun, be active and grow into happy, healthy, responsible adults. Kidventure Camp provides that opportunity.
