Best Summer Ever

Stay Local and Maximize the Fun

Spend your summer with us to connect with friends and to stay active. COMPASS Summer Outdoor Program is a special type of community where kids come together to have fun. Within the camp setting, children develop a sense of independence as they try new adventures away from home. Summer programs are known for providing a safe environment where children gain self-confidence as they learn new skills. All participants must work independently at a 6:1 ratio.

COMPASS Summer Program runs for 10 weeks and you choose the weeks you would like to attend. Half and full day options are available but you must register for a minimum of 2 weeks. The program includes STEM, arts & crafts, recreation, and team building. Only full day campers will participate in 1 hour of swimming or rock climbing in the afternoons.

Our goal for this program is to ensure SAFETY and SUCESS are our top priorities.

For more information email our Customer Service or our Head Program Counselor Dazzlin Peguero.

*COMPASS reserves the right to assess a child's eligibility for any community program.

This is going to be the best summer yet!
