Day Camp
This program is for children entering 1st through 6th grade or campers in the ECHO Program who are not ready for an overnight experience. They will be assigned to a cabin and spend the day with their cabin group going to all the great activities - just like a resident camper - but will go home each night. If we have large numbers of Day Campers any one week, we may place them all together as a cabin group. Day campers attend Monday through Friday. They arrive daily at 8:30 am and are picked up at 5:45 pm. We can be flexible with pick-up and drop-off times with prior arrangements. Day campers have an option to stay late one night for the camp evening program.

Teen Program
An exciting outdoor program for teens entering 7th grade and up. This experience focuses on developing leadership skills, teamwork, trust, commitment, responsibility, and self-awareness. The majority of activities are offered as choices so the program is more youth guided and tailored to meet the interests of the individual teenager. All of the fun camp activities are offered in addition to off-site trips such as rock climbing (Fridays - included in the tuition) and skeet shooting (Wednesdays) included in the tuition) and white water rafting and ziplining (Thursdays for an additional fee). If the weather is not cooperating trips will be canceled. If you would like notification of cancellations, please let us know.

ECHO PROGRAM
This program is for youth ages 7 to 17 who need additional support. The youth are fully integrated into every aspect of the camp program from cabin living to every activity. The Echo program has a more than 50-year history and is an integral part of our camp program and camp community. Initially, the program was targeted toward the inclusion of youth with physical disabilities and has since broadened to incorporate youth with a wide range of developmental disabilities and needs. All youth benefit when they live, laugh, and play together. A couple of things to consider: we are not a specialized therapeutic program. We are not able to support youth who are physical towards others or unable to stay with a group. Please contact us prior to registering. Separate application is necessary to apply.
