In addition to traditional camp activities, all campers attending camp will participate in themed activities such as all-camp games, competitions, and dinners. Horseback riding is only available if a Horseback Riding Camp session is selected.  

This week's theme will be Messtival. Get ready to be messy! This week at camp is all about embracing the chaos, creativity, and fun that comes with getting messy. Throughout the week you will dive into a whirlwind of outrageous, hand-on activities. You'll have the opportunity to make slime, play in the mud, and compete in a crazy all camp game called CHAOS, where the operative is to get your camp staff member the messiest! Getting dirty is the name of the game.
