Camp Programs
All of our camp programs are designed for fun and recreation. Our programs are designed to enhance the four domains of youth development: positive identity, social skills, physical and thinking skills, and positive values and spirituality. Some of our activities will emphasize skill building; others emphasize participation, teamwork, and socialization.

Drama

Drama
The campers and staff produce talent shows and plays which are presented during the evening program activities. Our drama activities also include practicing campfire songs, doing makeovers, and making costumes for parades or the talent shows.

Fishing

Boating and Fishing
The camp has row boats, canoes, and kayaks for activities. Campers and staff participate in boat races and a water carnival. Campers can fish from the docks – it is a catch and release fishing program. Campers will be thrilled to catch perch, sunfish, and catfish. There are also many turtles and water snakes for the campers to observe.

Swimming

Swimming Program
The swimming activities take place in our indoor heated swimming pool. It is designed to provide accessibility to our campers with a ramp, steps, and a lift. The swimming activities are designed to provide fun and skill building. The ratio of staff to campers in the pool is always one-on-one.

Camping

Overnight Camping
Campers can chose to sleep out in a platform tenting area on the camp site for a night. They will cook their own breakfast in the morning. Our campers are able to sleep under the stars, make s’mores over a camp fire, tell ghost stories, and learn camp songs.

Garden

Gardening
Campers help plant flowers around the camp. There are also two raised vegetable gardens that the campers help cultivate.
Climbing Tower

Low Rope Course/Climbing Tower
A trained and qualified staff conducts different team building and challenge activities using our low ropes course and the climbing tower. Campers are given the opportunity to challenge themselves, to work as a team, and gain skills in problem solving.
