Careful, professional guidance by Laurel's staff goes into the development of each camper's program. Each age at Laurel is treated differently. As campers grow older, they enjoy more choice in determining their program. All programs for older campers are individualized and each camper follows his or her personal schedule for each of the program days. Because Laurel offers an unusually wide variety of activities, with a great deal of in-depth instruction, it is quite possible for older campers to specialize in one or two areas of interest and to receive excellent instruction in these activities.
Schedules are prepared for each camper and posted in their cabin.
In addition to the regular daily schedule, there is a period of each day for daily choice activities. The IC period provides a natural break from the pattern of scheduled activities. Campers always look forward to the special in-camp days as a chance to have a later breakfast, to make their own sundaes at lunch and to enjoy creative offerings by the counseling staff. Picnic or cookout lunches are always provided on Trip Days. We have two seatings for breakfast and dinner.
