About ESF Camps

ESF (which stands for Education, Sports, and Fun) has been a pioneering force in summer day camps since its humble beginnings in 1982 by co-founders and brothers Michael and Bill Rouse. Since then, ESF has had a profound impact on children by developing life skills through a dynamic staff, high-quality programs, premier locations, time-honored traditions, and commitment to safety and FUN! Each camp is staffed by teachers and college students who possess a boundless passion for working with children and ESF boasts one of the lowest staff-to-child ratios in the camp industry. ESF's full-time staff works year-round to ensure that each child's camp experience is both memorable and life-changing. ESF is also deeply committed to helping underserved young people in local communities through its social action initiatives - the ESF Dream Camp Foundation and Acting Without Boundaries.
