Campers live in cabins with 12 (or fewer) similar age, same gender campers and are supervised by two staff, or in yurts with 10 (or fewer) similar age, same gender campers and are supervised by two staff. Younger campers stay in cabins, generally in the 7-11 year old age range, and older youth campers, generally in the 12-13 age range, stay in the yurts.
Cabins have 14 bunks with lights, electricity, heat, twin sized mattress bunk beds, and bathrooms/showers inside each cabin.
Yurts have 12 bunks with lights, electricity, heat, twin sized mattress bunk beds, but utilize a separate gender but shared bathroom/shower house about 20 yards away.
Camper voice is empowered by the opportunity to choose their own camptivities to participate in for the week. During camptivities new interests and passions are discovered as campers gain confidence through meeting new challenges.
The energy level is always high at youth camp whether it is singing songs at campfire, running like mad during all camp games, or making a splash at the waterfront. Youth Camp gives campers an experience that they will be bursting to tell the whole family about.
Available Camptivities Include:
Archery, Arts & Crafts, BMX and Mountain Biking, Rock Wall (all ages), Zip Line (must be 65+ lbs, thus is open to campers aged 10+), Court Sports, Drama, Field Sports, Music, Fishing, Boating, STEAM Activities, and Swimming to name but a few!
