Sample classes.

Blocks change from week to week with the story. A snack and a water break fall inside each morning block.

How a day moves

Cool mornings outside, quiet afternoons in

We plan the day around the heat, and around how long a camper can sit.

  • An open grass field at the edge of a wood, empty in midday light

    Mornings are outdoors

    Games and the woods come first, while it is cool, with a water break inside each block.

  • A bright arts barn with open doors, long tables and baskets of materials

    Lunch and quiet reading are inside

    Campers eat together in the fellowship hall and then read or rest. Lunch comes from home, and a morning snack is provided.

  • A group of campers seen from behind sitting on the grass facing a counselor

    The day ends in a circle

    The last half hour is the fireside circle: a story, a song and a quiet moment before pickup at the front door.

Each week has its own story, and the same day around it.
