Your camper will be walking a great deal and will have to eventually carry a backpack on overnight excursions. However, most programming is structured such that campers begin with easier activities and gradually progress to more difficult activities and trips.

We will also provide families with information that should help with the adjustment to camp life. Homesickness is temporary in nearly all cases.
