We believe building muscles of character is similar to building physical muscles. Investing energy in each muscle stimulates growth. We thread opportunities throughout the camp day to strengthen these muscles, thereby making character development a key differentiator of an ESF Experience. It is our goal throughout the summer to provide campers with a personalized “tool belt” for individual success by engaging them in a wide variety of activities, rituals and traditions.
As a result, ESF campers become stronger, healthier, and more resilient. We build upon family values and continue to shape the “Character Muscles” of our campers through our 8 ESF Virtues. We refer to them as the ESFV’s!
