ABOUT CAMP
Resident Camp
General Sessions & Units
Every week at camp is new and exciting no matter the camper’s age or program you register for. Since our staff work with each cabin group to create the session activities, each week is unique.Click here for more information about weekly session activities and living units at camp. Many campers attend a “general” session, which includes a wide variety of activities around camp. You may also choose a “specialty” session – scroll down for descriptions.
