Our Program

Eight Acres is an outdoor-based Summer Day Camp/Out of School Time program for elementary age children. We accept children who have completed kindergarten - 11 years old for summer camp and children enrolled in kindergarten - 11 years old for school year camps. We are not staffed or equipped to provide for children with severe emotional or behavioral issues.
