*Afternoon Activities: Our afternoon activities vary depending on the age of the camp. Standard activities include nature hikes, playing in the creek, recreation periods (softball, frisbees, field games, and others), arts and crafts, swimming in the pool, and sometimes camp wide activities like the Whacky Wode Wace, Pool Party, Field Day, etc. For our older campers, we offer the Climbing Tower, High Ropes Course, and Creek Hike.

Canteen: During Canteen, campers receive their mail, take a break and build community, and have options for a drink and snack. Major brand candy, chips (regular and baked) and sometimes, watermelon are offered. Please note: we do not serve foods with nuts during Canteen for summer campers.

Evening Activities: Evening activities vary with the age group. A bonfire with s’mores and stories takes place every where, as well as Skit/Talent Night. Other evening activities may include themed dances, three-ball soccer, capture the flag, carnival, who can get it there first, night swims and parties in our lit pool, and movie night.
