How about some CAMP news?!


Tired of election news? 

I bet you are. 

I. Bet. You. Are.

How about we transport you from this dreary-rainy-November-Wednesday to the beautiful-warm-future-land of next Summer as we preview our NEW CLASSES for 2017!?

How's that sound?

Sound nice?

I thought it would.

(And as you're checking out our new classes, I hope you're anticipating joining us at Camp in a few weeks for our Winter Gathering! It'll be a great Summer Camp Reunion and celebration of the opening of our Polar Bear Registration for Summer 2017.)







Talent Show Production

One of the all-time great Camp traditions since time immemorial is our Thursday night spectacular, the show of shows, the gold standard of All-Camp events, summed up in two words and two words alone: Talent. Show. In this brand-new class, for the first time ever, a team of campers will have creative control of every aspect of the show. From designing the theme and presentation to organizing the line-up, to making sure everything goes smooth back-stage to hosting the show itself, this class offers an up close and hands-on role in one of everyone’s favorite Camp evenings. (Offered Period 3.)




Disc Golf Skills

It all started with our campers attempting to throw a Frisbee into the wishing well, and has caught on like wildfire from there. Our Disc Golf Skills class will teach campers how to throw official Disc Golf discs for both distance and accuracy. They’ll get to work on these skills through a variety of games and activities and the best way possible: by actually playing the game on our new Camp Disc Golf Course. They will focus on the first four holes of the course, each of which has various lessons to teach our beginning players about the game. (Offered Period 1.)







Disc Golf Open: (12 and Up)


Our advanced Disc Golf course moves past the basics, and throws our campers right onto our 9 Hole Disc Golf Course. They’ll travel through the bowl, behind the cabins, and into the woods, exploring some beautiful and previously un-utilized sections of forest on Camp while playing a fun and competitive sport that anyone can enjoy. (Offered Period 3.)





Marksman: (12 and Up) 

Our new shooting sports class focuses on multiple disciplines of firearms. With safety and personal responsibility as the first priorities, campers will learn the basics of shooting both our air powered pellet rifles and 20 gauges shot guns. They will be instructed to observe range commands and follow proper protocol as they and improve their accuracy. They will then test their skills in various target competitions. (Offered Periods 1, 2 and 3.)




Walk and Talk

When our Camp Mission is distilled down to its purest form, it is basically this: for our campers to enjoy spending time with each other outdoors. This class is that idea at its simplest! In Walk and Talk our campers will amble, stroll, and saunter through beautiful sections of Camp’s forests and along it’s streams and relax and some great hidden destinations on site. On the way (led by their counselor talk-show-host) they’ll chat, banter, and discuss a vast variety of topics, all the time making new friends and getting to know each the better. (Offered Period 2.)
