Safety is a key component of all of our activities. Working with campers, we develop a solid knowledge base and awareness of all of our activities to ensure that these activities are as safe as possible. Campers and staff are required to wear personal flotation device (PFD’s) or lifejackets during all of the boating activities. Camp provides safe PFD’s and lifejackets for all campers. We also provide paddles and safety kits for the kayaks and canoes. All of our staff are trained to deliver a high quality, safe and fun program.
Evening Activities
After supper every week day we offer two all camp programs. Immediately following supper all staff and campers participate in a high energy wide game, for example capture the flag, rocks, survival etc. At the completion of the wide-games, campers have a one-hour break to get ready for the theme program and visit the Tuck Shop for a treat. After this break the entire camp meets at the flagpole where the 2nd evening program is introduced. This program is generally a theme and character rich program in which campers of all ages can let their imagination run wild.
Weekends
Saturday’s are All Day Program camp days where the entire day is focused on one encompassing theme. Campers and staff look forward to this high energy and exciting day of activities all week long. This activity divides the entire camp into separate teams with activities and challenges throughout the day to determine the winner of All Day Program! On Sunday, we slow the pace down just a bit and campers enjoy this change of pace and look forward to enjoying a more relaxed day at camp where they can recharge for the next week of activities.
