Experience has shown that most campers are happier with others at their own peer level. In a great majority of cases, placing campers out of grade level has proven unsuccessful. Additionally, some of the organizations we partner with to provide specialized camp activities (offsite mission projects, horseback riding, and rock climbing, just to name a few) only allow participants of a certain age to engage in the activity.
Can I sign up for a camp that is for campers in a certain grade, if I’m not in that grade?
