Programs at Skyline Camp and Retreat Center in Almont, MI
BeAKid
DAY CAMPS Ages 5-12
Our day campers spend their days exploring and playing at camp in the rain or sun. Campers travel around camp with a group of peers and counselors. They get to know fellow campers throughout the week and do activities together as a team. The themes for each week are infused into the activities so there is always something new and exciting. Each day is a mix of free play, planned activities, and activities that the campers choose either individually or as a group. The "every-week" activities we offer campers include swimming, catch and release fishing, boating, BEEP (Build, Explore, Eat, Play in the woods), archery, makerspace (creative craft area), singing camp songs, and exploring the farm and garden. Our daily goal is to send campers home a little tired, a little dirty, and full of joy.

Camouflage Hike (recommended ages 3-14)
Hike through the woods while playing trail games including running and hiding. We can also search for insects and signs of wild animals that blend into their surroundings. This activity is best as a 30-45 minute period but can be done while walking from one activity to the next.

Boating (ages 3+)
Explore the natural wonders of our little pond in a boat, canoes, paddle boat or Funyaks (this might get you a little wet.) Try to spot the beautiful birds, snapping turtles, painted turtles, frogs, and fish while you are on the water. We provide boats and lifejackets of all sizes. All pond activities require a higher ratio of adults to children than other activities. This activity is best as a 60-minute period.

Archery (ages 5+)
With our recurve bows, we will teach you the basics of archery or just provide the space and equipment for you to practice. Archery requires attention, focus, and respect for boundaries. It’s a sport that children and adults can learn and gain confidence with every attempt. This activity is best as a 60-minute period.
