All of our activities are designed for hands-on learning and fun rather than passive watching. Campers have multiple choices about activities such as swimming, trips, work projects, gardening, cooking and the like. Campers are expected to participate in the work of community building as well as specific program activities. Chores such as clearing tables, washing dishes, and keeping cabins neat are necessary to forming a strong and healthy summer community. Whatever they choose, the expectation is one of full and active participation in the activity at hand.
Counselors strive to provide both encouragement and instruction.
All campers and staff participate in Meeting for Worship each day, both while in camp and while out on the trail. Taking this time together is one of the foundations of the community we create. As such, it is expected of everyone at camp. First, you can count on him or her rising early, pitching in with community chores, and eating three meals a day. After breakfast there is Meeting for Worship and an activity period, and after lunch each camp has a rest hour and another activity period before dinner.
