🌟 More Session Three Highlights! 🌟 Our Elite Year (8th graders) campers took on their most epic adventures yet! They embarked on the longest and most challenging journeys of the summer, from a breathtaking 5-day sea kayaking expedition to a 6-day backpacking trek.

Under the theme “Be Excellent,” they’re learning that true excellence isn’t about perfection—it’s about dedication, hard work, and the courage to keep going, even when faced with challenges. 💪🌄
