Our Culture
DEAN Adventure Camps promotes a philosphy of learning by making, learning by doing, and learning by playing because learning should be a fun, interactive, and productive experience!
We empower children, families, and communities through experiential learning. We, as instructors, encourage children during their journey to develop a sense of pride by being kind to themselves and others, accepting mistakes, and fearlessly exploring their ideas. Our core values are grounded in trust, care, education, and creativity.
At DEAN Adventure Camps, we establish care to build trust to empower learners to create authentically. We use these building blocks to educate and create opportunities to learn.
DEAN Adventure Camps is fortunate to bring a team together of people with different backgrounds, experiences, and abilities. The individual talents YOU bring to the table are the exceptionality of our organization. We at DEAN Adventure Camps uphold the belief that every person is treated with respect and kindness.
