What will my child be doing while at Frost Valley?

Your child will be having a marvelous outdoor experience while visiting us here at Frost Valley. Your school will choose the activities in which your child will be participating. Our program provides an amazing camp experience that is enriched with science, teambuilding and fun. Sometimes, if you look closely, you will notice that they don’t even realize that they are learning something new whether it is science related or simply learning something new about a classmate.  It’s magical.
