Special Event Days (S Days)
Twice a session we pause our normal programming for Special Event Days. On these days campers sleep
an hour later and there are special food items and snacks. The Special Events are unique to each session.
Activity Selection
Before every session campers will fill out an Activity Selection Form. They will rank their preferences on
this form and then our staff will make every camper a schedule. We review each schedule individually to
ensure campers are given their top choices. Once campers arrive at camp they are able to change their
schedule. Campers who attend multiple sessions will fill out a new form while they are at camp.
Session 4
The program calendar changes slightly for our one week session. Campers participate in one set of
electives and enjoy a Special Event Day in the middle of the week.
