At Camp Harbor View, it’s important that every camper has the ability to experience a wide variety of activities that will allow him or her to learn and grow. That’s why campers are encouraged to make their own choices, discover their passions and be themselves while having fun.
Camp programming is based on four key areas of development:
Leadership skills
Knowledge Is power
Sports and fitness
Creative expression
In addition to activities such as basketball, baseball, tennis, arts and crafts, dancing, field trips around the island, and the climbing ropes course, we’re excited to add several new activities in 2008. These new programs include (but are not limited to) an aquatics program, a sailing program, a performing arts program, kayaking, CPR training, and a Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program designed for former campers.
To attend Camp Harbor View, campers’ families are asked to pay $5 in tuition. The remainder of tuition is paid by ongoing corporate and private donations. Plus all campers receive clothing and footwear on their first day of camp and three hot meals per day.
We are extremely thankful for the help and support of our generous program partners, whose collaboration allows us to offer a diverse and exciting camp curriculum:
