Contact UsWE BUILD COMMUNITY & CHARACTER
Our philosophy is best explained through our five Star-Points, developed because we’re youth development professionals with high expectations. We believe that every moment of every day at camp is an opportunity for both campers and staff to positively impact each other’s lives. It is a profound mindset we teach the many children who attend our camp.
If you’ve never attended summer camp, it’s easy to assume that the camp experience is just an enjoyable form of summer child care, but it’s way more than that. At Liberty Lake, we preach and teach CHARACTER – the behaviors and skills sought out by parents, schools, and future employers. We teach these values while building COMMUNITY, with everyone knowing each other, feeling valued, and willing to push beyond their perceived limits.
After one summer season at Liberty Lake, your child will realize that real ‘fun’ isn’t generated by riding roller coasters. Fun is a natural byproduct of conquering fears, making friends, gaining confidence, and finding the person you’re meant to be. Prepare yourself for our old school attitude—there’s no Fortnite or Mario Kart at LLDC. We’re OUTDOORS and SCREEN-FREE – with no computers, tablets, or mobile devices available. Liberty Lake’s philosophy and follow-through is different than any other summer camp. It ignites a life-altering experience that will have your child counting down the days during the school year!
This is why we’re so intentional about integrating our Star-Points philosophy into our camp activities and electives. We monitor the many behaviors essential to being a decent human being and acknowledge campers when “caught” demonstrating these behaviors.
Have we tugged hard enough yet at the heartstrings of your goals and ambitions for your child? The Liberty Lake Core Values / Star-Points of Youth Development are:
Independence ~ Integrity ~ Aspiration ~ Teamwork ~ Friendship
Everything at Liberty Lake is done with the intention and purpose of furthering our philosophy and mission building community and character.
This unique, “intentional” approach to the summer camp experience provides children with a real-life educational experience that promotes the mastery of character skills. Outcome research studies conducted by the American Camp Association (ACA), other youth-development organizations, and LLDC ourselves confirm that character-driven camp programs like Liberty Lake show significant results!
The American Camp Association, Philliber Research Associates, and the University of Utah, have been conducting outcomes studies over the past 20 years that prove the value and impact of the camp experience.
