Overnight Camp

This is an excellent introduction to resident camping. This program is aimed at the needs of younger campers. The program is highly structured with a smaller counselor per camper ratio. Campers participate in many of the same activities as older campers, but are at camp for a much shorter stay. Campers arrive between 2-3 p.m. on Sunday and are reunited with their parents to checkout on Tuesday between 4-5 p.m. Campers have two full days of activities and spend two nights.

This wonderful program offers a smooth transition from Scouts to Rangers; it is a great introduction to the one-week Ranger session. This two-night program is similar in structure to the Scouts but adds a little more interaction with the older campers. Campers arrive between 9-10 a.m. on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday are full of activities. Parents arrive Friday evening to check their camper out.
