Try Camp – Ages 7-10

Try Camp is great for first time campers. Your camper will spend 3 days and 2 nights exploring camp, making new friends and trying camp on for size! Campers select from wide range of camptivities during the session including crafts, theatre, nature, sports, zipline and many more. The pool and creek provide a chance to splash around and cool off. Try Camp is a great way to prepare for a longer session at Camp Shaw. If your camper loves camp and is ready for a longer stay, they can choose to stay for the rest of the Youth Camp session (for an additional fee).
