When we say we inspire every kid’s limitless possibilities, we’re not playing around. Well, okay we are.

We believe that powerful play is one of the most effective ways to bring out each and every personal best. In our eyes, all we see are possibilities and every kid has that “something” that is unique. With their unlimited possibilities every “best” is, unique too. One girl’s faster running speed is another boy’s taller skyscraper design. One water-enthusiast might master the pool, while another masters the art of nautical charts. We could go on. And on. But you get it. Summer is a time for exploration. Our experience shows that guided exploration leads to the realization of untapped passion and talent. And when that happens during the most memorable time of your child’s life? Well, we believe the possibilities for the future are limitless.

Let us be clear, we do not create or assign these things. These “bests” are already there, within each child. In fact, you’ve probably already seen glimpses of greatness. Our role is to simply help campers unearth it, and nurture it — so we can all watch it blossom into something incredible. And because every kid isn’t the same, our approach isn’t either. We pride ourselves on being flexible and adaptable — meeting them where they are on their journey. Passion cannot be forced out of a child. It must be awakened, and brought out naturally. We won’t quit until we’ve given every child the tools they need to find that magic, that passion, that unique gift that drives them to succeed.

We like to call these foundations, the Kid EX ¹⁰ tools. They aren’t just any tools, they’re character building social skills that are highly correlated to success and leadership. By providing the tools below, and in partnership with families, we are playing a small, but valuable role in helping our campers achieve success so they can be the absolute best version of their future selves.
