TRAILBLAZERS IN OUR COMMUNITY
The oldest and largest free summer day program in the country, Camp Courant is committed to providing transformative experiences that can alter the trajectory of a child's life.
We are busy creating an exciting camp community that will have a positive and lifelong impact on our young campers—a camp where kids can experience diversity by meeting children from all backgrounds, where they can learn to be independent and where they will be challenged to try new activities—all while having a healthy dose of fun!
