Each 2-week session of camp features 3 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, 100%-safe paint projects, headbands, pipe cleaner animals and perler beads. Campers can choose to craft at any time during the morning. After lunch we offer play-by-choice, where campers can pick from three to four awesome stations with rotations offered every 40 minutes.
