Where kids can be kids - explore nature and enjoy outdoor adventures
Camp Starkweather was developed and is supervised by Todd Miller, with a group of young adult staff and high school volunteers to assist in engaging children in fun activities. Todd has a B.S. in physical education, M.S. in special education, and is certified by High5 adventure education. The camp utilizes the entire property from the NIA playground and fields to the frog pond and trails leading to it. Camp activities begin and end at each groups designated area. Each week features a different theme, appealing to children ages 4-10, abilities and interests.
Our Tween Camp is designed for kids ages 11-13
Children are engaged in small groups and individual activities.
At the center of it all is the belief that kids should be kids.

WEEKLY TWEEN CAMP
SPECIAL FULL DAY PROGRAMING FOR AGES 11 through 8th grade
The tween age is a challenging age and behavior and attitude variation are hallmarks of this age. Camp Starkweather's TWEEN CAMP aims to provide structured opportunities to reinforce responsibility through volunteerism and mentorship. While balancing independent activity time to allow the tweens time to be independent while having fun and being respectful. Weekly themes will follow our larger camp program with age appropriate activities where applicable.
Sample Program Structure
9-10: Volunteer activities & service project
10-2: Games and Activities (i.e. PS4 Tournament, Kickball, Capture the Flag, etc)
2-3: Camper Mentoring - work with younger campers during activities and learn how to be a role model
NOTE: We are looking into adding a special off-site field trip (i.e. Rock'n Jump, Discovery Museum Adventure Park, etc) each week. The cost associated with this will be passed through. Add-on costs should fall within the $35-$50 range per child.
