About Us
 
Camp Spirit is pioneering an exciting new approach to character education, one that builds on the ethic of sportsmanship that prevails in the world of Ultimate FrisbeeTM.  At even the most competitive levels, this fast-growing sport is played without referees.  Instead, players use conflict resolution skills honed in an environment that stresses fair play and mutual respect.  For forty years, this "Spirit of the GameTM" ethic has fostered honesty, integrity and constructive dispute resolution.  Camp Spirit is dedicated to helping young people learn this ethic, and apply it in all walks of life.

Camp Spirit has recently won a prestigious national award to develop its innovative moral education curriculum.
