NARA Camp creates an environment that encourages children to grow both physically and socially. Our dedicated staff works with peer groups to engage children in healthy outdoor activity along with enrichment opportunities that are challenging and fun.  A variety of age-appropriate activities is offered each week, including arts & crafts, drama, sports, group challenges, nature studies, swimming and more!  Additional special activities and field trips are based on each week’s theme.
Each camper will receive a free NARA Camp T-shirt! Campers should wear their T-shirt on field trips days for group identification.
