What will camp be like in 2024?

As far as healthcare, in 2023 we were more or less back to pre-COVID "normal." We have no reason to expect 2024 to be any different, but if that changes we will place updates here AND will contact the families of all registered campers.

Questions about what to pack, arrival and departure procedures, or general healthcare at camp?

Elective Skill Group – Cabin groups (younger campers) or individuals (older campers) will select from various planned activities related to the arts (like crafts, dance, or drama), outdoor living (like slingshots, firebuilding, or funyaks), or sports (like street hockey, kickball, or disc golf).

Cabin Action – Cabin groups will choose a simple activity like playing gaga, making friendship bracelets, or playing in the stream.

Evening Rec – Each evening, the whole camp will assemble for various games on the rec field.

Swimming – Campers will have swim time each day, weather permitting.
