This year at Camp Shaw, we are offering several new and unique opportunities for area school groups to explore relationships with themselves, each other and nature. They then will have the tools to form their own opinions about the world around them.
Our activities are geared towards hands-on, interactive learning that develops problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
Students can learn how to challenge themselves and each other on our BLITZ Course while learning how to work as a team to accomplish a common goal.
