Camp Builds Durable Skills

What are Durable Skills?


Two important characteristics:

  1. They can be applied in many different situations and contexts
  2. With practice, they can last a lifetime

We love the concept of durable skills at camp because these are things we can practice now that will make us stronger in the future.

Here are some of our favorite examples:

The 4 R’s

Our values at camp are the 4 R’s: Respect, Responsibility, Reaching Out, and taking Reasonable Risks.
The 4 R’s are our camp values and skills that we practice every day.

Power over technology

Taking a break from technology at camp isn’t just healthy. It teaches campers that they have power over their devices, not the other way around.

Your camp has done so much for my son. You have hired the absolute best staff, and my son raves about each person! Your counselors have welcomed my son and made him feel like a rockstar. They have taught him about the 4R’s, and I’m so proud of him! Thank you for your hospitality!
