What is a Typical Day Like?
Exciting days at camp start when campers are checked in. Campers
meet their counselors at 8:30 each day, gather briefly for announcements and a couple of songs, then start making plans
for fun and adventure. Each day includes activities around
the week's theme, plus many other fun things too.
After 2 or 3 morning activity periods, it's time for lunch.
Kids will bring a sack lunch from home, cook a meal as a group,
or eat in the dining hall once each week with hundreds of
other campers.
In the afternoon there are a few more activities and we wrap
up the day with clean up chores and a closing circle. Rest
times are taken when counselors gauge the kids need them.
