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 Shipwrecked. CAPTAIN, CAPTAIN, CAPTAIN, the ship... it's approaching land... too quickly! Your ship has crashed on the deserted island that you've come to know as Camp Linden. You and your crew must learn to survive off the resources you find at camp until you can be rescued! Learn key skills like fire building, outdoor cooking, and shelter building. But be on the lookout; pirates are known to walk these parts.
