Saving the Planet One Camper at a Time
Our Story
Established in the summer of 2002, Adventure Kids Camp began as a way for Executive Director Julie Klabunde to spend more time with her own children while still providing them with fun yet educational summertime activities.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to provide a safe, enriching environment for children that enhances social skills and self-esteem, nurtures spiritual growth, and instills a sense of responsibility and respect for the Earth and all her natural resources.
Our Impact
For nearly 20 years, Adventure Kids has made an impact in hundreds of children's' lives. From the lasting friendships to the first tastes of responsibility in our CIT program, we are committed to developing young people who will be the leaders of tomorrow.

CITS
Counselors in Training (CIT) are volunteer staff members between the ages of 13-15 years. CIT's assist counselors but are not left in charge of campers. All CITs are also First-Aid and CPR certified. The CIT program is designed to develop young people with strong leadership skills. Due to the popularity of this program, eligibility is limited to former campers only.
