Roosevelt Adventure Camp
7 Weeks: July 1st - August 16th
Monday - Friday 9AM - 1PM
For campers going into 1st to 7th grade
Our Roosevelt Adventure Camp is in it's 5th year exploring all of the beautiful trails, lakes, parks, streams, and forests of our amazing town!
What we do:
During our camp, we spend our time outside. Some of the days we stay at one location, while some we will be traveling around the town or the greater Assunpink Wildlife area via hiking trails, our bikes, or on kayaks/canoes, but no matter what we will be moving around and challenging ourselves in a variety of ways. We change locations daily to keep our campers (and counselors) inspired and excited for whatever adventure comes next!
Our activities consist of Bike Rides, Trail Walks, Kayak Explorations, Outdoor Skill Development, Leadership Skills, Creative Arts, Community Education, Teambuilding Challenges, and Traditional Camp Games led by experienced counselors from your community.
Camp Director, Gus Vuolle, specialises in social-emotional education, so you can bet your camper will have a number of opportunities to grow and reflect on how they work with others, how they work with themselves, and how all of that effects our community around us.

What is suggested pricing?
When we started building our camp community, one of the most important things was being able to continue to expand our activities and opportunities for the kids of our community, while making sure that no camper or family will ever be left behind due to financial concerns. For that reason, we run on the suggested pricing model. Over the last 2 years, we have also partnered with the Tulloss Foundation, in memory of adventurous Roosevelt resident Sarah Tulloss, which has been generous enough to support our cause. Our suggested weekly cost is listed below, but we strongly encourage any family who is interested to inquire about our discounts/scholarships. Over the last 2 years we have been able to give our over $5,000 in discounts and scholarships to families.
If interested in our scholarships/discounts, it is important you communicate that before the camp season starts. Just note on your registration form that is something you are interested in, and in your invoice we will give you options of 25%, 50%, and 75% off to choose from, no strings attached. If more discounts are necessary for your family to be comfortable, we will always find an agreeable solution to get your camper(s) outside adventuring with us.
