Specialist Spotlight: Aquatics
The waterfront at Camp Coleman is one of the places where the entire unit can be together, play together and bond together. Not only do the campers have the opportunity to cool off, play around, relax and even learn a bit about activities in and around the water, but they get to further their bonds with new and old friends from other bunks within the same unit.
A Reflection: Staff Week 2019
Staff week has been an amazing experience for all staff. Not only has it been challenging, but friendships have been formed that will likely last a lifetime. We are all so excited for the campers to get here in less than 24 hours!

“Shine” Mind, Body, and Soul!
