Adventure Camp

Ages 6-12, one-week, two-week, and mini week sessions

This is our biggest camp!

​

Each morning, campers choose their morning elective. There is always a range of options to find something fun for everyone. Our "Craft pack" offers electives around the arts and music. Our "Sports Pack" offers very active choices usually involving High ropes course, target or field sport.  Our "Farm and Nature Pack" spends time in the nature center or with our farm animals. Our "Wild Pack" offers choices involving exploring nature, making fires, building shelters, and getting wild.

​

Afternoons start with free time at the waterfront and then transition into cabin activities with your child's small group. We aim for cool engaging activities that help bring a cabin together and help foster friendship growth. Common cabin activities include team building, a nature center, tie-dye, target sports, pontoon lake explorations, and a horseback trail ride.

 

Evenings are spent with all the kids their age - having large group fun, from campfires to field games.

Mornings with Electives

New for 2026!  Instead of one elective a morning, we are switching to TWO!   Based on your campers interest we'll get them in two different morning elective tracks for Monday through Thursday.  "Free-For-All Friday" will be one elective they choose on their own. 

Nature and Farm Electives:

  • Two days based out of the nature center

  • Two days based out of the farm

  • Critters and Nature ga-lore!
