We pride ourselves on employing teachers in the local area that are not only excellent in their classrooms, but also committed to what is best for kids in a relaxed and fun summer environment. Not only do our counselors enjoy working with kids, but love to have fun right along with them! One of the advantages of DCA is that our counselors participate in all of the activities along with our campers. Sometimes we’re not sure who has more fun – our campers or our staff!!
