On Tuesday night of camp, we used to do an activity (codename: Milo) where we split camp by gender and did our own bonding activities. We’ve now made this dedicated family time and will be serving s’mores! yum!

No snack shack this year :(

The old gift store is now a meeting space, "Wellspring" and there's a patio in front for another meeting space.

We’ve added more family time to the schedule overall! This means you and your co-counselors will have a lot more time to “program” for (aka what are icebreakers or activities you want to facilitate?!) and more playtime for the whole group!

We strongly encourage yall to take time before camp to prepare and plan for these family times.

Please note, these are subject to shift a bit as we finalize a few moving parts. Final times will be confirmed when we share the final schedule 1 week before.

Family times:

DAY 1 (SATURDAY: camper arrival day) : 2 hours p.s. You will review safety procedures, rules, goals, etc as a family now. Previously you did this as a cabin.

DAY 2 (SUNDAY: Camp photo day/first day of modules): 2 hours and 15 min!

DAY 3 (MONDAY: Leadership program closing): 30 min! More time TBD.

DAY 4 (TUESDAY: Universe/Circle of Strength): 60 minutes!

DAY 5 (WEDNESDAY: Dance/BBQ Day!): TBD here!

DAY 6 (THURSDAY: Campers leave): If time during pack and clean up and during departures.
