We believe in summer.

That it should awaken childhood and demand more of us.

We believe in the power of discomfort to remind us of our courage.

We believe camp is full of adventure; and that adventures are best lived with friends who become family.

We believe in remaining curious, about the things we know and all that we may not.

We believe the power of the game does not live on the scoreboard. It lives in unspoken moments on the bench. It lives in the momentary eye contact before the goal on the field. It lives in the huddle before the game and under the weight of the hand on your shoulder.

We believe that everyone has a place on the team. That no one should have to choose between individuality and belonging. And that we’re all in this together.

We believe in seeking the balance between never settling for enough, and the revolutionary power of rest. That often, being bored leads to the greatest memories.

We believe in joy. That sometimes it doesn’t come easy. And that we can find it everywhere.

We believe in late nights with friends. That there is nothing like a warm summer night around the campfire; Listening to the sounds of the lake and telling stories with your buddies. Blanketed by stars and warmed by fire.

We believe that time really can both stand still and disappear in a flash. That the days go on forever but the weeks fly by.

We believe that of all our pursuits,there is nothing more valuable than creating a community that changes the lives of young people.
