Sample Schedule
SUNRISE CIRCLE We start each morning by checking in as a group to set goals and preview the day’s adventures. ARTS and SCIENCE Every day features an outdoor art project or science experiment tied to our weekly theme. NEW SKILLS Campers master a new weekly focus—like orienteering or map reading—to build real-world expertise. TEAM BUILDING Active games and creative challenges help campers learn to collaborate and lead together. PLAYGROUNDS and SPLASH PADS We visit the best local playgrounds and stay cool with supervised trips to park splash pads. LUNCH and SOLO TIME Post-lunch downtime offers a chance to recharge through reading, napping, or quiet reflection. UNSTRUCTURED FREE PLAY Dedicated time for self-directed play allows campers to build social confidence and follow their own imagination. SUNSET CIRCLE We gather at the end of the day to share highlights, discuss challenges, and close with a final song.
