Mornings offer tons of camper choice! Campers “truddy up” (link into groups of three or more) and travel to various activity options (including visiting the camp store!) led by camp staff & Leadership Development Program (LDP) participants. Truddies can participate in as many or as few activities as they like throughout the morning activity blocks, always traveling together as a group.

Truddy Time allows for campers to practice autonomy, group decision-making, and planning as they make their way through various activities thoughout the week and discover new connections and interests.

During Truddy Time, there are multiple staff members stationed around camp property & activities who function as “land lifeguards”. Land lifeguards assist our campers in finding activities, and also assist as needed throughout their assigned space.

As with all our activities, our goal is to create fun & interesting opportunities for each camper, help them to develop and refine skills, and encourage goal setting and exploring new challenges.

Saturday morning celebrates the end of camp with one last dance party in camp square! Everyone at camp will also view the camp video compiled by our camp media team during this time.

After lunch & rest hour, campers will participate in Clubs & Cabin Activities.

Clubs are focused on various interest areas that allow campers to develop their skills and explore new topics & areas. Club options vary week-to week and are based around camper interest; some of the clubs offered might include H20 Club (engage in exciting water activities & sports), Builders Club (build amazing lego creations & practice in woodshop), Cooking Club (learn about food prep & cook dishes over an open fire), or Mad Scientist Club (try different experiments & STEAM activities). In additional to skill development & interest exploration, clubs aid in the cultivation of camper friendships outside of the cabin.

Cabin Activities may include most any of the activities available at camp, done together as a cabin group! Some activities incorporated into your camper’s schedule might include:

• Hikes (to Power Lines, Rainbow Falls, or Shower Bath Falls)

• Canoes, Kayaks, Paddleboards, & Corcls

• Low Ropes & High Ropes (D3 only)

• Archery, BB Guns, Hatchets, & Riflery (D3 only)

• Giant Swing & Zipline (D2 & D3 only)

• Climbing Wall

• Fishing & Swimming

• Gym, Field, & Water Games and Sports

• Arts and Crafts & Woodshop

Evening time brings additional programming for each division and cabin group. Campers might enjoy specific cabin activities or an all-division evening program activity like Water Battle or Organized Chaos. Other nights bring the entire camp together for campfires, talent shows, or other opportunities to share and create special memories.

There are some evening activities throughout the week in which the whole camp comes together to enjoy each other’s company & community:

• Sunday - Cookout & Opening Campfire

  • After check-in & get-to-know-you activities, our campers enjoy a BBQ cookout in Camp Square! Foods like hot dogs, hamburgers, BBQ pork, pasta salad, and chips (along with dietary alternatives) are served kiosk-style, and campers are free to also engage in activities like Gaga Ball, jumping on the Land Blob, pickleball, and lots of other fun activities in a low-stakes introduction to camp. After dinner, campers move over to our Opening Campfire space where they’ll get to know our staff and general camp practices through silly songs, skits, chants, and more.

  Monday - Chapel

  • On Monday evening, all campers and staff hike over to Pretty Place to enjoy the amazing view, sing songs together, and listen to a message from our Executive Director about our Core Values and G.R.E.A.T. Goals.

• Friday - Camper Show & Closing Campfire

  • On Friday evening after our weekly themed dinner, all of camp gathers together to participate in a camp-wide talent show! After the festivities, our solemn final campfire commences with songs and a special ceremony for our longest-attending campers. Fireworks over the lake conclude each amazing week!

Each division will also participate in a pack-out on one evening during the week. Division 1 will make s’mores over an open fire; Division 2 will elevate the experience with s’mores and an optional sleepout at one of our pack-out sites; Divisions 3 & 4 will engage in a dinner cookout (s’mores included!) and full overnight sleepout.

The last part of each camper’s day is defined by Twilight Talk and Vespers. These times are reserved for campers and staff to review the day’s events, discuss any goals met and challenges attempted, sing songs, and reflect. This opportunity helps to provide closure and promote contemplation and growth for each camper.
