SPORTS AQUATICS THE ARTS EQUESTRIAN PROGRAM OUTDOOR CHALLENGES
Sports
Team and individual sports, as well as clinics and instructional work, are integral parts of our athletics program. We run an active schedule of inter-camp games and tournaments. Campers also have the opportunity to participate in competitions with other camps and clubs. Both boys and girls participate in a noncompetitive league program where the emphasis is on sportsmanship and fair play. (Back to top)
Aquatics
At our private lake and pool our campers enjoy well-rounded aquatics fun. We encourage the development of water skills following the Red Cross Achievement Program in our pool, with canoeing, tubing and water skiing all happening in our beautiful lake. Our campers swim under the watchful eye of our water safety instructors and lifeguards. We evaluate each campers’ swimming ability and place them in swimming programs that help them gain confidence and stroke knowledge, with safety as our priority. (Back to top)
The Arts
Self-expression and learning by doing are central themes in our fine arts program. Arts & Crafts, Aerobics, Newspaper, Model Rocketry, Dramatics, Dance and Photography all play an active role in the program. Our campers develop self-confidence while enhancing their individual talents. All campers have an opportunity to participate in the camp musical each session. (Back to top)
Equestrian Program
Our well-schooled horses give campers a chance to try both an English and Western seat through our American Camp Association Accredited Riding Program. We take the time to evaluate campers interested in riding, matching their abilities with the right skill level class. In our sand-filled ring, campers gain and improve their horsemanship skills alongside endless trails that let us get outside the stables and enjoy the great outdoors. As our campers’ skills improve, we look to challenge them by providing safe advanced activities for them to conquer. We do not jump our horses but rather challenge our riders with other skills tests, including barrels, roping and more. (Back to top)
Outdoor Challenges
Our scenic setting presents the perfect backdrop for our nature related programs. Environmental education through backpacking, hiking, rock climbing and overnight trips provides a fresh atmosphere for learning. Our rock climbing wall, low ropes course and zip wire offer additional hands-on learning opportunities. These programs also foster self confidence and team building skills. (Back to top)
