Kermit Camp (Ages 3–5)
Designed for children who haven’t yet started Kindergarten, Camp Kermit keeps little ones engaged with short, hands-on activities like crafts, STEM, music, games, and more. Includes rest time to recharge.
Explorer Camp (Ages 6–10)
Each week is packed with outdoor fun, field games, themed activities, and chances to try something new. Campers build friendships, confidence, and skills—while just being kids.
Honor Bright Camp (Ages 6–12)
Held entirely outdoors, this nature-based camp takes place on 17 wooded acres with archery, hiking, marshmallow roasting, swimming, and more. It’s perfect for kids who love to move, explore, and spend the whole day outside.
Horizon Camp (Ages 10–14)
Older campers stay engaged with Horizon’s flexible programming and camper-led weekly field trip planning. It’s social, active, and built just for tweens and early teens.
Camp Honor Bright – Leaders In Training (Ages 13–15)
Our LIT program helps teens gain leadership skills through real experience at camp. Selected teens assist staff, lead activities, and learn teamwork, responsibility, and communication. Application required prior to registration.
