Campers are exposed to a wide variety of activities at camp. Each activity is organized by a specialized and, when applicable, fully certified staff member. Our rotating schedule will ensure that every camper will get to try out everything at least once.  Imagine all the new skills and passions one summer outside could uncover!  Some activities may be offered in your camper's regular schedule and others may be offered for electives only.  Activities include:
