Camp Activities
Swimming Lessons & Free Swim – In addition to free swim, all campers receive daily swim instruction using the Swim for Life program. All campers will participate in a swim assessment to determine their current swimming abilities and over the session will work towards completing a new level with our Certified Swim Instructors. Swim reports will go home at end of sessions.
Canoeing/Kayaking – Campers will have the opportunity to learn the skills to safely embark and disembark from a canoe or kayak. Once comfortable on the water, paddling and other skills, tips and tricks will be taught through fun and exciting games.
Archery – Campers will learn to safely and effectively shoot a bow and arrow in our Archery Area through a variety of games.
Tools – Campers will explore building with wood and tools. From birdhouses, to bug homes, to benches and signs, campers will learn to safely use tools and create functional pieces for camp and home.
The Arts – Artistic expression is endless and campers will explore activities in theatre, dance, puppetry, creative arts, and art with nature. Campers will also engage in site art, including camp murals, and painting pieces from our woodworking area.
Pond – Adventure Camp has a great wetlands area that is ideal for pond study of animals, plants, and habitats. It is also an ideal fishing spot. Children will learn how to safely bait a hook, cast, and experience catching and handling a fish (catch and release), and will engage in eco studies of the pond lands.
Sports and Movement – Campers will be introduced to new and exciting sports, active games, yoga and relaxation practices, nutrition and hydration practices and personal goal setting skills.
Leadership Games – Adventure Camp is all about building character and developing leadership. With our Camp Leaders, our campers will learn new skills and abilities with group engaging games.
Farm/Animals – The grounds play host to large, animal pens for pigs, sheep and goats to name a few. Campers have the opportunity to learn about building connections, empathy and stewardship by caring for and supporting animal needs. Interaction with the animals reinforces the differences and similarities between human and animal needs such as food, shelter, water and space.
