“The great hope of society is in individual character.”
-- Channing

Our youth needs to be able to distinguish the difference between reality and the shock and awe of MTV and their pop culture. Welcome to this one week etiquette camp for children ages 8 – 12. The mornings will be filled with etiquette training to be followed each day with a tutorial lunch. The afternoons will be fun- filled with excursions to museums, concerts, even Disneyland as well as lessons in golf, tennis, sailing, horseback riding (English instruction), swimming, and red- cross life saving skills plus a component on ballroom dancing!

The goal of this camp in addition to the etiquette learned will be to begin laying the foundation for the development of moral character within our youth.

For those parents living outside the Newport Beach, California area, you are welcomed to come with their child and enjoy a mini vacation while visiting California! Please contact our offices for we have a reduced lodging rate at the hotel should you be interested.
