Many youth lack the opportunity or experience of attending an overnight camp without their parents and guardians.  They need experiences that will allow them to acquire and practice life skills that will serve them the rest of their lives.

Youth are provided the opportunity to go to camp where they can become more independent, care for themselves, explore new activities and a wide range of other life skills.
