Camp Castaway: A Journey of Courage and Discovery

Introducing our 2026 theme…

When our campers voyage takes an unexpected turn and they find themselves wrecked, campers are challenged to think creatively, work together, and chart a new course forward.

While (almost) every program shares the Castaway narrative, each camp charts its own course. From arts and media to science, technology, leadership, and beyond, campers explore interests connected to future careers and academic pathways. No matter the focus, the journey emphasizes discovery, purpose, and possibility.

Campers will solve problems, tackle real-world challenges, and explore new ideas through hands-on, collaborative experiences. Along the way, they’ll build resilience, confidence, and leadership skills, learning how to care for others, respect the world around them, and approach uncertainty with courage and compassion. These moments are designed not just to teach skills, but to help campers grow as whole persons mind, heart, and spirit.

*Some programs may not fully incorporate the theme. All camps are designed to build a pathway to academic, career and personal growth. Please see individual camp pages for specific details.

Registration will open February 15, 2026.
