In the morning, campers will join their designated animal group and adhere to a structured schedule that includes visits to two rotating activity areas, along with a daily excursion to the waterfront. Each afternoon, campers have the opportunity to select an activity that is creatively linked to the morning’s activities, offering a more playful experience. During free time, campers can explore any activity area of their choice, as well as our library and play structure.
Activities Available:
Barns & Gardens - In this activity area, campers take part in essential farm tasks, allowing them to gain hands-on experience with food production and animal care. Activities may include making butter or bread, harvesting vegetables, herbs, or berries, collecting eggs, grooming rabbits, shelling beans, or walking goats.
Work Projects - Campers are introduced to fundamental tool safety and usage, engaging in both collaborative community projects, such as repairing fences or steps, and individual endeavors, like constructing shelves or creating "pinball machines."
Adventure - The morning rotations focus on developing team-building skills through activities that enhance communication, trust, and leadership. During free time, campers can explore rock climbing, learning about safety measures and basic climbing techniques.
Environmental Sustainability - This area immerses campers in ecological education, where they explore concepts related to plants, trees, and animals. Activities may include games that reinforce environmental themes, nature exploration, or hands-on investigation of ecological tools.
Outdoor Living Skills (OLS) - Campers acquire practical outdoor skills, including fire building, navigation using maps and compasses, and knot-tying techniques, fostering independence and confidence in outdoor settings.
Arts - In the Art Barn, campers have the opportunity to create and experiment with various artistic materials, including clay, paint, and markers, promoting creativity and self-expression.
Waterfront - Campers participate in swim lessons tailored to their individual skill levels during the morning rotations. In the afternoons, they can enjoy leisure time at the picturesque lake with their peers.
