Our elective based program provides families with a different take on the traditional camp experience. As children grow with us, the elective based program provides campers the opportunity to meet and socialize with campers in the same grade as well as campers with similar interests. The Buckley staff combines the strength and enthusiasm of social workers, certified teachers, experienced college students and mature high school students.
