During your week away from home you will develop independence, mutual respect and a feeling of capability. This is the place to be free, to be yourself and to smile 24/7.

The Dorms

After all the non-stop activities you will go through during the day, it is nice to relax in the evening at the comfortable dorms. Each room is also equipped with an AC unit.

There are 3-6 campers staying in each room, all from the same age group. Boys and girls live in separate dorms. During the day, while campers participate in their regular activities, the dorm buildings are locked.

There are always counselors supervising the dorms. Each floor has a staff room, available for campers 24 hours a day. In the evenings, during shower time, the counselors visit the rooms and lead fun games and activities, that help the campers get to know their new friends and feel more comfortable with each other.

Jeff came back home yesterday and now in an unstoppable mode talking about the friends and interesting things of camp. He loved everyone and started missing you all:-)

Thank you all for taking good care of him and a special thanks to the group and workshop counselors who always kept me updated, hope to see you guys all again next summer.

About Camp:

  • Common Grounds

    Everyone coming to BIG IDEA want to do something interesting and valuable during their vacation.

    You won’t believe how much you have in common with children that grew up on the other side of the world! The friendships you will form will be very empowering and mind-opening, as we celebrate the differences and diversity in our camp.

    Say goodbye to your cellphone!
    Yes, you’re not mistaken – our camp is phone-free!

    A big part of the BIG IDEA experience is to develop independence skills. Taking phones away creates priceless social interactions. By removing this distraction, we allow children to truly connect with each other. Those friendship last a lifetime!
