Our Team
Lindsey Jean
Founder and CEO who was inspired starting this camp to create the ultimate summer adventure for her son. Feeling disappointed in the options available in the valley she decided to start the camp she was desiring for all kids to experience. The foundation of the program supporting kids growing self confident, learning through play, connecting with nature, having empowered learning experiences, and creating supportive friendships.
From the beginning of summer till the end the children should feel more proud of who they are, confident in new interests, and excited about life. The point is to grow, learn, and enjoy the process.
