Communication
Based on the girls’ interests and age, each group of campers and staff plans its own activities, including hiking, archery, nature exploration, swimming, challenge course, arts and crafts, and sleep outs, with additional activities based on the session theme. Help your camper choose a camp session by looking for activities she already loves or has always wanted to try!
