Camp Inspire

TCHC is proud to introduce our new summer program, Camp Inspire!

On this page

    Camp Inspire replaces Rookie League as our summer day camp for children ages 6 to 12. The program runs during July and August and will run for seven weeks. Throughout the summer, campers will build resilience and self-confidence while developing positive relationships with each other. Camp communities will participate in weekly themed activities designed to inspire exploration and imagination.
