VENTURE | 5th – 6th grade

VOYAGER | 7th – 8th grade

CIT | 9th – 10th grade

As our young campers transition into the Pioneer group, they begin to build independence in a supportive environment. Program highlights include team and individual sports, cookouts, swimming, boating, crafts, music, and drama.

Campers never run out of new challenges and adventures in Trailblazers. The emphasis is on individual skill development while working in a group setting. The unit features a program of electives as well as arts & crafts, swimming, music, drama, boating/canoeing, team & individual sports, and special events. There is an increased focus on arts, sports, and team building.

The goals of the venture program are to strengthen physical and emotional maturity with an emphasis on enhancing self-esteem. In addition to the wide variety of age-appropriate electives, like golf, archery, creative arts, sports, games, and boating, campers participate in social camp events.

Middle School is a time of change, and camp is no different. The Voyager activities are designed to encourage independence, physical and emotional well-being, enhance decision-making skills, and lay the groundwork to develop leadership skills.

We recognize at this age they want to be more than just campers. This program allows our CITs that freedom along with a healthy dose of responsibility. Our CITs get hands-on experience working with our younger campers and leadership training that focuses on teamwork, communication, cooperation, responsibility, patience, and respect.
