Camp Overview:
The camper’s day will begin around 7:00 a.m. with a friendly wake-up from their cabin counselor. Everyone will head down to the dining hall for a nutritious, delicious breakfast prepared by none other than “Chef Lorenzo.” (Medical dietary needs can be accommodated with prior notification.)
Throughout the week, campers will have the opportunity to participate in fun specialty areas such as archery, arts and crafts, swimming, and nature studies. There will be “me time/cabin time”, which is a time for campers to relax in their cabin, write letters, play quiet activities with their cabin-mates, and do cabin chores as directed by their cabin counselor. Everyone will be asked to keep the cabin neat and tidy!
Campers will also be involved with community service projects. These may include helping maintain trails and keeping the cabins clean. Campers will help the counselors prepare food for the “village cookout” and learn low-impact camping.
Evenings will be reserved for the “All Camper Event”, a time when all campers will come together for an evening of fun and games.
