The Five Star Points
The Five Star Points are the foundation of our camp culture. These points embody 5 characteristics that reflect the social and emotional goals we have for our campers and staff each summer and we’ve integrated them into everything we do. From staff training and evaluations, daily activities, special events, even our bus rides to and from camp, our campers and staff members know that our 5 Star Points are what is valued most. By letting the Five Star Points be their guide all summer long, our campers and staff turn actions into skills they’ll use to contribute to the world beyond campus. learn more ...
friendship
The adventures campers share and the memories they make are the fabric of tight-knit friendships.
independence
Independence at Everwood comes in a variety of forms. From learning to take care of one’s belongings, to focusing on individual passions through our elective program.
Integrity
At Everwood we acknowledge when our campers do the right thing, big or small; from playing a game by the rules, to picking up trash even if it wasn’t theirs.
Inspiration
You’ll find inspiration everywhere you look at Everwood, and that’s because our campers are always trying–and thriving–at activities they haven’t before.
Team work
There are endless opportunities for teamwork at Everwood, from canoe races to our ropes course, morning assembly to creating original camp songs.
