OUR PHILOSOPHY
Beautiful summers are more than just fleeting moments at Redwood. Every summer is a chance to take a step out of the hard pace of life, take everything you've learned so far and just roll with it. At Redwood, our campers are encouraged to grow as individuals, become stronger, more confident, in a place where we are all accepted and our ideas are taken seriously. Children are natural funsters! They will take everything that they have learned at Redwood and put it into their non-summer lives-by having as much fun as possible, while remembering respect, openness, community and kindness .
