Camp Programming
Each week of camp features three to four adventures with all other days hosted at our main elementary school location (see chart below for location details). On campus, kids are assigned to counselors by age group for morning activities. Morning activities include classic field games such as capture the flag, gaga ball, dodgeball, soccer, street hockey, scottish handball, knockout and many more. Additionally, there is a morning craft table set-up in the shade that includes friendship bracelets, jewelry making, sand art, pipe cleaner animals and tissue paper bouquets. Campers can choose to craft at any time during the morning. After lunch we offer play by choice, where campers can pick from four awesome stations with rotations offered every 40 minutes.
