Summer Camp Support Staff

At DEAN Adventure Camps, we believe summer is about more than just fun—it’s a time for kids to build skills, gain confidence, and form lifelong friendships. Our hands-on, high-energy programs encourage campers (Pre-K to age 15) to Discover, Explore, Achieve, and Navigate new adventures. From skateboarding and sewing to team challenges and creative problem-solving, every camper gains real-world skills while making unforgettable memories.

We operate across DC, MD, NJ, PA, and VA, offering all-inclusive programs that make summer exciting for kids and easy for families. Learn more: DEAN Adventure Camps.
