Explorers
Camp should provide opportunities to try new things, make new friends, and develop a greater sense of self-worth. This is what our Explorer program is all about. Divided into age groups, campers participate in a variety of camp activities designed for fun and learning.

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.
| CORNERSTONE | DESCRIPTION |
| 1. CREATIVITY | Self-expression |
| 2. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY | Intentional movement |
| 3. EXPLORATION | Open-ended play |
| 4. REFLECTION | Empathy & Character |
