- Pique Her Interests

“Our 10-year-old daughter has grown up at GPS camps. She has been telling people that she "goes to GPS" and is a Bruiser since age 5! The GPS camps offer such a wide array of educational and athletic options, all in a very loving and nurturing environment. Last summer, our daughter mostly focused on Tennis Camp but loved learning new skills at Film Camp and All Sports Camp. The current GPS student counselors are such a huge part of the magic of camp. They are excellent role models and ambassadors of the school, and we have loved getting to know them. Thank you to GPS camps for all you do!”
