Primes and Dailies
An Individualized Experience
With our flexible 2 to 8 week session options and empowering camper-chosen programming, campers are given the ability to soar. They concentrate their interests in three goal oriented Primes, AND can try something new in the encouraging and playful space of Dailies and Free Choice.
Our Program
A Supportive Summer
Celebrating Our Diversity
At ILC, we celebrate diversity and promote creativity. We embrace individuals with their unique talents and ideas with an open-mind and open-heart: with kindness and acceptance.
Our Philosophy
Do what makes you happy
Try Something Completely New
We are an “AND” camp. Campers can fly on the trapeze and score a goal on the soccer field. They can record a song and slay a dragon in a role-playing game. At ILC, we celebrate, foster and welcome your creative AND sporty AND artsy AND inquisitive AND musical AND adventurous AND silly sides!
