This three-day/two-night camp is an opportunity for a first-time resident camp experience. A low 5:1 camper-to-staff ratio provides your child the caring, individual attention necessary to succeed in being away from home while having the time of their lives! Mini Camp activities include swimming, climbing tower, cable slide, evening campfires, songs, skits, and exciting themed activities.
At this first level of a week-long camping experience, Trailblazers participate in most traditional camp activities, including swimming, archery, crafts, sports, climbing wall, drama, campfires, and an overnight outside. With our 8:1 camper-to-counselor ratio, we provide a safety-conscious setting that fosters respect for self, others and the environment. Trailblazer staff are dedicated to helping campers make new friends and creating a sense of belonging among the cabin group members. They assist campers in developing the essential skills of teamwork, responsibility, honesty, and caring that will help them be successful at camp and upon their return to home
As they progress to a new level of camping, Trekkers experience their favorite traditional camp activities (swimming, archery, crafts, sports, climbing wall, campfires, overnight under the stars), and choose their own skill activity each afternoon. Choices include theater, basketball, soccer, indoor hockey, and arts and crafts. With our 10:1 camper-to- staff ratio, Trekkers participate in nightly “raps” that focus on learning from the day’s events.
Trekkers are given the opportunity to focus on an art of their choice. Learn guitar, rehearse a play, and perform on Friday, or go beyond camp’s arts and crafts program to learn advanced art skills. The camp will be shaped around camper’s desires in the creative arts.
