We take great pride in our Summer Camp Program. We are different because we have been offering adventure programming for over 40 years. We understand what is important to both children and their parents and we strive to meet and exceed those expectations. We are dedicated to the following commitments:
Children are social at heart and they all need friends, to feel comfortable, to feel at ease, cared for and safe. They need to feel like they belong. We take great efforts to make sure this happens at PD on a child by child basis.
We have the most experienced and knowledgeable camp staff in the West. With over forty years experience working with young people in an outdoor setting I personally select the staff based on their ability to care for kids, their skill and expertise and their love of the outdoors.
We focus on leadership. Every child is encouraged to rise up and become a leader. We enhance a camper’s natural leadership ability and help he or she to develop a stronger sense of themselves and their abilities. With this leadership opportunity comes responsibility as well. We hold campers to a high bar when it comes to being mature, responsible and safe.
We focus on risk awareness and help each camper fully understand whatever activity we are engaged in.
And finally, we just love what we do. We love the campers as well as the outdoors. We don’t do it because we get paid. We do our jobs the best we can and renumeration is necessary to pay the bills. The bottom line for us is… we simply love what we do and it shows.
