Dream Big Day Camp
At Dream BIG Day Camps, we run our camps with an emotional intelligence of teaching life through camp. We don’t throw out a bunch of balls and say, “GO.” There is a process; a beginning, a middle and an end. There are take-a-ways and instructional moments in activities. We stress winning graciously, losing with dignity, accepting differences and managing projects that push comfort zones.
Campers improve skill development, enjoy 20+ activities from basketball to STEM to dance and make meaningful connections. If children don’t leave our program feeling 14 ft. tall then we aren’t doing something right.
