More than a place to spend summer
The magic is
being understood.
Summit is built for young people who want to make friends and be part of a group, but may need a different kind of support to get there. Every day brings chances to try, connect and feel a little more sure of yourself.
That’s the heart of Summit: meaningful social learning, surrounded by the fun and freedom of camp.
Get to know SummitTry something. Find your thing.
Growth looks
like real life.
Social learning isn’t tucked away in a classroom. It happens while campers make things, explore the outdoors, take a turn and cheer each other on.
