Each week there is a new and exciting focus, and every day the campers experience, learn, and explore a new aspect of that theme.

The activities, stories, crafts, games, songs, and atmosphere communicate the weekly nature theme.

These descriptions are just some of the choices that will be available to campers each day. Activities such as GaGa, primitive skills, hiking, canoeing, music, shelter-building, active games, exploring pond and creek, are part of every session at camp.

LISTED BELOW ARE THEMES FOR PAST SEASON 2016.

NEW 2017 plans are being made at the present time and Theme Announcements will be made here soon!

Free Choice Activities

In addition to the daily themes, we have Free Choice Activity Periods several times each session. This provides campers additional opportunities to participate in the session’s themed activities.

Together with the camp standard activities of hiking, canoeing, pond and creek exploration, outdoor shelter building, nature crafts, cooperative and camp games, and farm animal care, campers are sure to experience camp days full of fun and healthy choices. All campers get to choose the activities they participate in. Camp staff works hard to ensure that campers participate in activities in which they find success.

Campers have plenty of time in their day to spend time at their group sites in the woods, explore, and spend time engaged in healthy creative play with friends.
