Spark Interest in the Outdoors!
Mornings begin as campers wake up in their three-sided cabins to the sounds of nature! They enjoy breakfast outdoors under the Food Shelter with joyous laughter and singing. After breakfast, they participate in chores for the community and silent meeting, which provides quiet reflection before heading off for morning activities filled with fun and meaningful experiences. Campers will get to experience all F&W activity areas: Barns & Gardens, Work Projects, Outdoor Living Skills, and Creative Arts, using real tools and learning cool skills.
Afternoons are centered around camper choice. After a healthy lunch and rest hour, campers choose a new activity every day. They might go for hike up the nearby mountains, build a birdhouse, join a canoe trip on lake Ninevah, attempt the low ropes course, harvest berries, or lead an activity they've created! Will they take goats on a walk? Make ice cream? Enjoy a game of camouflage in the woods?
Evenings bring a new activity every night as campers get a sampling of the evening activities that our camps have to offer! One evening might be a cabin cookout, and a different evening they may take part in a facilitated conversation to better understand race, gender, identity, and practicing healthy boundaries at camp. Other nights are reserved for spectacular All Camp Games or a celebratory variety show. Finally the glow from flashlights is replaced by the moon as everyone joins their cabin for a bedtime story and to drift off to sleep together.
