Your child deserves more from their summer camp than just summer-time babysitting. Maple Key is a safe, positive community where we empower your child to develop creativity, confidence, and a sense of adventure.
| Confident | Creative | Adventurous |
|---|---|---|
| Your child will build resilience by conquering new challenges in a safe, supportive environment. | Your child will stretch their muscles in skill areas often ignored by schools, such as fine arts, music, and woodworking. | Your child will rekindle their imagination through innovative, immersive, and original programming. |
Every kid deserves to reach their full potential.
Today’s kids face more pressure than we did as kids: Social media & other technology. Social insecurity. Academic stress. Difficulty managing conflicts. Changing social distance protocols. As parents, it’s hard to watch them struggle. We worry about how to help and protect our kids against all of these problems.
We can’t wrap them in bubble wrap…. but we CAN build their emotional armour.
Confident, adventurous kids are more resilient against the pressures of a modern world, and are better equipped to become happy, productive adults.

We know what it’s like
As an elementary teacher and a parent, I understand the challenges that today’s kids face. That’s why I believe it is more important than ever for children to have a safe space where they truly feel they belong. We’ve helped hundreds of kids to feel strong, confident, and more resilient.
We’d love the opportunity to do the same for yours, too.
