Workshops are specialized activity periods where campers receive instruction from certified teachers and professionals in their respective fields. Each workshop is developed to meet the needs and interests of our campers in an age and level appropriate way.

Our workshops run Monday-Thursday, for two weeks in length (approximately 8 days of instruction). Buckley Playhouse will run for four-weeks, culminating in a performance. Please note that the Academic Enrichment Workshop has a $100 fee and Horseback Riding has a $450 fee for participating.
