We believe:
•	We must respect individuality. Every person is gifted with unique learning styles, talents, aspirations, strengths and weaknesses. All of these characteristics must be recognized and respected.
•	Self awareness is a product of change and risk.
•	Team work and multiple approaches effectively solve problems.
•	Physical and emotional safety is our highest priority.
•	Experiential Education fosters important life skills: communication, cooperation, and empathy.
•	“Camp Nuhop Magic” should generate closeness, understanding, sharing, and trust.

In accordance with our Mission & Beliefs, campers are placed within a compatible group of children with similar needs. In our structured programs, campers receive a specialized placement with staff who understand their individuality. Our staff teaches self-awareness, social development, and creates a safe environment where friendships can be made.
