Camper of the Week has been a long and important tradition Soldier’s Summer Camp.  Every week we highlight Campers from each age group and announce the Campers of the Week in front of the Campers and Staff. Our staff identifies Campers who display great characteristics shown through friendship, kindness, helpfulness to other Campers, and excellent behavior. Being honored as a camper of the week is a very big honor and we are so proud of those who achieve this recognition. The chosen Campers receive a certificate and a special treat at the end of the week.

Soldier’s Summer Camp is a place where all Campers feel safe, accepted, protected, and have a sense of belonging.  Bullying, fighting, and name-calling are never tolerated.  Our Staff, Campers, and Parents will work in collaboration to prevent all forms of bullying through education and the establishment and maintenance of policies and programs designed to eradicate bullying.  Campers are subject to termination at any time for any of the above mentioned.
