This opening week of day camp will focus on a different culture every day through different games and crafts from around the world. Meet our international staff and take a trip around the globe with us!

Creative Arts week will introduce a variety of art opportunities in a typical studio setting and in a unique camp style. Our talented volunteers share what they love with skill and encouragement. We also try some wacky art just for fun, like water balloon painting and slimy twister!

Rock out with us at Pathfinder Lodge with a variety of music activities. We will make our own instruments, find music in nature and play musical games with a camp twist: imagine musical chairs with water balloons!

Science. Technology. Engineering. Art. Music. Camp-style! We’ll explore, challenge, build, experiment and create with natural resources and outdoor fun.

Everything with H2O! Hiking, games, boating and crafts all with a focus on getting wet. Paddleless canoe races, slip n’ slide kickball, Ultimate water balloon and life-sized Hungry, Hungry Hippo plus swimming, sailing, kayak/ canoe adventures and TUBING!

Combine outdoor adventures with a bit of MYSTERY. Every day will involve a challenge to discover clues, solve riddles and find surprises. From Sunken Scrabble (in our swimming area) to orienteering at the top of our hiking trail, kids will find new skills and explore nature in a unique way.

The best activities of the summer combined into a week of absolute FUN! Day campers will vote for their favorite activities each week of the summer and this week we’ll do ALL the best ones! Typical favorites include slip n slide, paddleless canoe races, and painting!

Games you know, but BETTER! Battleship… with water balloons. Soccer… with a giant ball. Life-sized board games. TV game shows reimagined. Plus swimming, boating, crafts and a cookout! Finish the summer with a winner.
