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, sometimes sorted by age, and other weeks in mixed age groups. 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, learning about the wilderness around us, 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 where campers may participate in an optional dress up day to celebrate all that we have done for the week.

Late Night/ Overnight Options

What is the optional late night/overnight option for Day Camp?
The late night or overnight are additional opportunities for your camper to experience more of camp in a way that is not regularly offered at Day Camp.
Late Night: Instead of being picked up at the normal 5:00pm time, your camper will stay at camp, with our Day Camp Counselors, and eat dinner at camp, participate in an evening activity, and attend our all camp evening campfire and have a snack. If time and weather permit, we will then adventure on an night hike to experience camp in the dark. Campers will then be picked up at the Day Camp Hub at 10:00pm. Friday Day Camp still happens as normal for our late night participants. The cost for the late night option is $20. Sign up for this event will be available until the Tuesday before the late night. Late nights for 2024 are available on the following days:
Thursday, June 27, 2024 - during Day Camp 3
Thursday, August 1, 2024 - during Day Camp 7
Overnight: Instead of being picked up at the normal 5:00pm time, your camper will stay at camp, with our Day Camp Counselors, and eat dinner at camp, participate in an evening activity, and attend our all camp evening campfire and have a snack. If time and weather permit, we will then adventure on an night hike to experience camp in the dark. Campers will then return to their assigned cabins with our Day Camp counselors and have the chance to shower if needed and then head off to bed. In the morning, they will be served breakfast and then will join their color groups to finish off their week of Day Camp with their groups. The cost for the overnight option is $35. Sign up for this event will be available until the Tuesday before the overnight. Overnights for 2024 are available on the following days:
