  • Week 5: 10-14 - Game On!
    Come ready to play this week! We’re packing our days with sports, games and obstacles courses. Campers will enjoy working as a team and learning new and fun twists to classic games. If your camper’s favorite activities at Camp include gaga ball and field games, this is a perfect week for them!
  • Week 6: 17-21 - Outdoor Cooking
    There’s nothing quite like cooking over an open fire – and now we’re doing it all week long! Campers will learn fire-building techniques and safety, and cook delicious snacks like orange cake, pudgie pies and fresh baked bread-on-a-stick. Come hungry! (One night stay option.)
