Your Camp Experience
The summer of a lifetime awaits



Your Typical Day At Camp
Every day at camp brings a new experience. "One day you might teach or participate in a new activity such as tennis or horseback riding; the next day, you might go for a hike or rehearse for a talent show.
Explore here how your day at camp would look like.
Morning
Rise and Shine. Your day starts around 8am with an all camp meeting to map out the day and get energized.
Next up – breakfast and morning activities! You will be taking your campers to their scheduled activities or teaching campers if you are an activity specialist.
Afternoon
Make sure to fuel up at lunch for the rest of the day. Take advantage of the rest hour after lunch to chill and recharge. This will give you the spark for a busy afternoon of more activities.
Evening
Dinner is served around 5pm and it’s just the start of evening fun. The whole camp comes together for the evening activity which is different every night. From talent shows to camp fires – your creativity is the limit!
Enjoy some quiet time in the cabin with your campers before lights out.
Next day - Repeat!
