Trailblazers
Entering grades: 3-5
Dates: July 20-25 or July 27-Aug. 1

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 under the stars. 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 will assist campers to develop the essential skills of teamwork, responsibility, honesty and caring, that will help them be successful at camp and upon their return to home and school.


Trekkers
Entering grades: 6-7
Dates: July 20-25 or July 27-Aug. 1

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), but they add their choice of a skill activity each afternoon. Choices often include camp video news, basketball, soccer, cricket or yoga. Trekkers explore integrity, honesty and trust while building self-esteem and self-confidence. Nightly "raps" give Trekkers the opportunity to focus on learning from the day's events.
