Epic Adventures Summer Program
Our Staff
Our trained, enthusiastic, and engaging staff interact with your children in a fun summer day camp environment. We are focused on providing caring leaders that will support and encourage your child during their adventures with us. To ensure a quality experience, the Town of Hanna trains all leaders who are working with children, in HIGH FIVE® ‘Principles of Healthy Child Development’ (PHCD) and Standard First Aid. Other opportunities for professional development are also encouraged when available.
