Younger Camp- Boys and Girls Ages 7-12
Younger Camp campers attend 3 different skill activities each morning to get advanced instruction in the activity. The youngest cabins in younger camp will travel to these activities as a cabin group - visiting all of the most popular activities. The oldest cabins in younger camp will choose their skill activities on Sunday and again on Tuesday and travel independently to their chosen program areas.
The afternoons are devoted to cabin centered activities. The cabin groups will schedule special activities during these periods. Activities may include climbing, canoe/kayak trip, adventure swimming, swim time, waterslide, water toys, hiking, challenging other cabins to a kickball game and much more.
Older Camp- Boys and Girls Ages 13-16

Older Camp campers sleep in each morning and eat breakfast at 9am. After the evening program each night, the Older Camp campers will move on to a program designed exclusively for them. Some of the special activities available are night zip line, night swim, campfire, and more. Older Camp does not go to bed until 11pm each evening.
Campout
Cabin groups (depending on the weather and available campsites on the lake) will go out on an overnight camping trip. The group will leave camp in canoes late afternoon and paddle to a campsite on the lake for the evening. They will cook over a fire, sleep in tents, and enjoy a night in the wilderness. Campouts return to camp prior to morning activities so the campers do not miss out on any of their skill activities. The youngest cabins of younger camp will do a cookout on the camp property.
