This program was our original design, our genesis if you will: one week of adventure. We simply found we had too many things to do and share. This camp is designed to give full adventure flavor, accommodating our campers who wish to stay longer but absolutely cannot due to schedule. Campers who come to the Sampler and find their schedules open up, are encouraged to upgrade any time during camp to the full two week Whole Enchilada Camp! We focus on: community-developement, mutual respect, personal power and the Unvierse at large.
