Camp Shaw

Welcome to Camp Shaw!

Sending your child to an overnight summer camp is the perfect way to teach him/her life skills that are not taught in a traditional school environment - skills such as independence, teamwork, leadership, the ability to take initiative, as well as respect for the environment.

Camp Shaw accomplishes teaching these skills using Experiential Education, a "Learning-By-Doing" philosophy. The camp program is designed to encourage personal decision-making by each camper, and also to provide a safe place for social interaction among many new people.
