Camp Activities


Camp activities are designed to provide campers with an opportunity to learn and implement the principles of leadership, citizenship, and good sportsmanship through classroom discussions, competitive sports, and other recreational activities.


In the Classroom

Campers are engaged in classroom discussions in which they receive a variety of presentations which show them how to take action against violence, communicate to avoid misunderstandings, make wise decisions about drugs and alcohol, handle disagreements constructively, set goals for the future, identify and improve their leadership skills, and generally take charge of their futures.  Additionally campers are engaged in discussions designed to help them know, care about, and act upon core ethical values such as fairness, honesty, compassion, responsibility, and respect for self and others.  Campers learn that they have time and talents that they can share with those in need.


Sports

Campers are involved in co-ed competitive sports and activities designed to instill and improve their cooperative and team building skills.  Campers are given the opportunity to compete for individual team first, second, and third place medals, which are awarded during our end of camp pizza party.


Recreation and Entertainment

The camp is not all work and no play.  There is also time for leisure activities such as reading, relaxing by the camp lake, swimming, paddle boating, and hiking.  Entertainment ranges from music, dance, comedy, story-telling, a talent show, and nightly movies.
