Camp Harbor

What is Camp Harbor?

Camp Harbor is a summer day camp, for rising second graders through fifth graders, where we explore everyday!  The focus of Camp Harbor is on Adventure, Friendship and Community.

At Camp Harbor, we do local adventures and in-camp activities in order to:

  • Have fun exploring together

  • Create connections and grow our community

  • Build a sense of self, sense of place, sense of unity

*Enrollment for currently enrolled families starts after spring break. For any remaining openings we will call down the waitlist.*
