Our Secret Menu Revealed!

Do you enjoy ordering a Neapolitan Shake at In-N-Out?

Maybe you fancy a Nutella Frappuccino from Starbucks from time to time?

So many consumer venues have some kind of hidden 'menu' that only insiders know about, and PSR Summer Camp is no exception.

Our secret menu items aren't food, but some of them might still interest you.

Dream Cabin
Definition: Minimum of 6 campers (maximum 9) who all want to be in the same cabin together during the same week.

Our normal procedure is that we only allow a maximum of 3 campers who already know each other in the same cabin. We do this to prevent bullying and maintain a manageable balance for the counselor. However, if you can get a group of at least six friends together, you can call the office and request a dream cabin.

Everyone in the group will also receive a free cabin photo of your crew as an additional 'thank you' for bring all your friends to camp!

English As A Second Language (ESL) Activity
We don't add this to the brochure, but we can offer a special ESL session option to groups of at least ten children. The course is usually taught by a bilingual teacher who speaks English & the native language of our students.

The students are instructed in 5, 2-hour morning sessions and then rotate through preselected English-immersive activities in the afternoon.

The deadline to request ESL classes is coming up (May 29, 2014), so if you're interested call the camp office ASAP.

Heart 2 Heart Award Scholarships
I wish that everyone could come to camp at no cost, but unfortunately it's not possible. However, we do set aside specific funds from donors to send children to camp who have recently lost a parent. 

This scholarship is based on donations, so requests are granted as funding is available.

Publishing the existence of these funds are a double-edged sword in some ways. Putting the information out there might help get a few more donations, but it also may lead to more requests (which may lead to disappointment).

At heart, I'm still optimistic, and gifts of any size are appreciated.

I hope you enjoyed learning about some of our secrets and we'll see you at camp!

PSR Camp used to have a 'backpacking camp' activity option.  This photo was taken by the class instructor during its final session almost ten years ago. Every year parent requests are taken into account when creating new activities (or bringing back old ones).
