The Community Camp Haven
A summer day camp for middle school boys and girls, built around hands-on activities and real-world skills.
What campers do
Camp Haven runs in June and July for middle school boys and girls. Activities have included whitewater rafting, ziplining, baking classes, dance classes, jewelry making, outdoor games, a visit to the African American Museum, and Black History projects.
Space is limited each session. If you register, our team will follow up to confirm availability before your child is enrolled.
