Special Days & Events
Theme Days
Our events and theme days are what summer camp is all about: building camaraderie and spirit through teamwork and endless fun. These are the moments your camper will bring up all year! Every week, we have a different special event, which means all campers will enjoy our special programming, whether they come for one session or the whole summer.
Session 1:
- July Fourth Day
- Army Navy Day
- Chateaugay Downs
- Farewell Banquet
Session 2:
- Olympic Day
- Carnival Day
- Gold Rush
- Farewell Banquet
Evening Activities
Every night we have a fun evening activity, which could be anything from a camp-wide game of capture the flag to a campfire on the beach, a treasure hunt, “all-star wrestling” (when campers dress their counselors up in the silliest costumes they can think of), or an MTV Night full of musical performances. Select evening programs also allow younger campers to have a special evening together, while the older campers do something just for themselves.
Cabin Nights
We have nights dedicated to cabin bonding. Scheduled once a week, “cabin nights” are chosen by the campers, giving them the chance to relax together and create strong connections with their cabin mates. Activities range from:
- Pool parties in our heated pool.
- Ice cream socials in our 1950s-era ice cream parlor overlooking the lake (where campers listen to music, play games and choose from ice cream, old fashioned sodas, popcorn or pizza), or movies in the big living room on our big-screen TV.
- Campfires with s’mores.
- Evening boat rides, complete with a barbecue on board.
Inter-Camp Games
Even though we are not a competitive camp, our campers love to play with other camp’s campers. We play games with nearby camps in sports and events, with our teams traveling to their camp, or their campers coming to ours. Kids can compete in swimming, basketball, baseball/softball, soccer, tennis, and dance.
