Counselors help instruct in areas where they possess skills. The evening program is sometimes an individual cabin involved in an activity while at other times there are village or all-camp events. This period at the end of the day becomes one of the most significant in the group's experience as ideals, values, successes and concerns are shared in an atmosphere of closeness and friendship. There are also times during the day when individuals can swim, play, relax, write letters, etc. There are hiking trips, music productions, camp olympics, and other special events during the summer.
Groups take overnight hikes.
Somehow you reached into the potential we knew was there but couldn't get out and I cannot thank you enough for that. The credit for the turn-around in attitude and confidence that we saw after the summer belongs to the s taff. For those who are enthusiastic about the YMCA purpose, the basic philosophy and goals of the camp, and who wish to help campers achieve personal growth, Camp Becket is a great place to spend the summer. A great many staff return year after year and find Becket to be one of the best and most rewarding experiences of their lives. This has been my greatest summer ever.
