Camp Programs
All of our camp programs are designed for fun and recreation. These programs are designed to enhance 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.
 Physical Recreation
Our campers participate in physical recreation activities such as soccer, archery, volleyball and noncompetitive games. The activities are adapted to the ability of the campers. As in all activities, the staff will provide assistance to the campers as needed.
 Arts & Crafts
We offer many different arts and crafts activities such as pottery, paper maché, doll making, drawing, painting, bead work, friendship bracelets, dry flower arranging, poster making, and tie-dying.
 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.
 Boating and Fishing
The camp has row boats, canoes, and kayaks for activities. Campers and staff participate in boat races, beach parties, a water carnival, and other aquatics related activities. Campers can fish from the docks it is a catch and release fishing program. Campers will be thrilled to catch perch, sunfish, and catfish.
 Swimming Program
The swimming activities take place in our indoor heated swimming pool 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, unless the individual camper can pass a swimming test.
 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, build camp crafts and learn camp songs.
 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.
