Camp Highlights

Mandala campers are enjoying some fun in the sun! Check out what we've been up to this week...


Through hands-on activities and real-life scenarios, Rise & Thrive campers practiced building confidence and independence with a scavenger hunt at Target, a retail tour at Sports Mania, a music lesson, and a picnic at Bird Island Park. This week focused on planning, responsibility, and decision-making through fun community experiences.


Wander & Wonder campers explored Losco Regional Park, the Tree Hill Nature Center, and the Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. These wanderers also splashed around at the beach and played at Silver Glen Springs!


Social Superstars and Connect & Create campers practiced teamwork skills by tending to the garden, playing team games, and building structures together. The group also created a shared drawing in which each camper contributed to a portion of the artwork!


We're thrilled to work alongside our friends at Hydaway Hollow to offer Horse Camp! This week, campers blended artistic expression with the beauty of life at the barn. In addition to riding time and horse interaction, campers created horse-inspired artwork with creative materials and textures.
