Day Camp
Camp is a microcosm of the world we want to live in, a place we come to step out of our comfort zones, be our truest selves, and to grow. It is a place to deepen our connections to ourselves, to each other, and to the earth.
Day Camps
Our day campers spend their days exploring and playing at camp in the rain or sun. Campers travel around camp with a group of peers and counselors, typically sorted by age. They get to know fellow campers throughout the week and do activities together as a team. The themes for each week are infused into the activities so there is always something new to foster growth and wonder. Each day is a mix of free play, planned activities, and activities that the campers choose either individually or as a group. The "every-week" activities we offer campers include swimming, catch and release fishing, boating, exploring the forests, archery, makerspace (creative craft area), singing camp songs, and exploring the farm and garden. Our daily goal is to send campers home a little tired, a little dirty, and full of joy. Each week will end with an all Day Camp activity to celebrate all that we have done for the week.
