Camp Kern
With over 80 years of experience, Camp Kern has an extensive series of problem-solving initiatives that require students to work together to plan, implement and evaluate solutions. In this overnight experience, eighth grade students and teachers set out to build trust, confidence, communication, cooperation, and problem solving skills.
