Your adventure begins at noon when you arrive at camp. Our team of friendly counselors will be there to greet you enthusiastically at the main entrance. This is where the excitement and anticipation start to bubble up, making you feel instantly part of our camp family.


Getting Settled and Jumping Right In


After you've checked in, you’ll head to your cabin to meet your cabin counselors and mates. Although settling in and unpacking comes later, we immediately dive into engaging games and activities. These are designed to break the ice and start building connections with your cabin mates right away.


Meeting Nurse Claudia


One of your first important stops will be a visit to Nurse Claudia. She’s dedicated to ensuring you feel your best throughout your stay at camp. During your meeting, you’ll discuss any health needs, go over medication management, and ensure you’re prepared for a fantastic and healthy camp experience.


The Fun Fire: A Camp Highlight

As the day progresses, excitement builds for the Fun Fire in the evening. This event is more than just a performance; it's a celebration of creativity and community. Each cabin group gets to introduce themselves with a skit or song, showcasing the vibrant spirit of camp life.


An Exciting Start to Summer

From your warm welcome to the last cheer at the Fun Fire, your first day at camp will be packed with positive emotions and fun activities. By the end of the day, you will have started to forge new friendships and create memories that will last long after summer ends. Just think—if this is only Day 1, imagine the adventures that await!
