                                                          Programming Activities

                                                          Though each week of camp is a little bit different, we do have some key activities that we run each week. The following is just a sampling of what the campers might encounter during the week.

                                                          ADVENTURE PROGRAM
                                                          Campers have the opportunity to challenge themselves and go on an adventure that is often the highlight of the week. Activities could include archery, canoeing, rock climbing on our 30 ft. climbing wall, nature hikes, or playing on our multi-element low ropes and challenge course.

                                                          RECREATION PROGRAM
                                                          Each day campers are given time to play in a structured session that usually includes big laughs and big fun! Games and activities are adapted for all campers and emphasize participation rather than competition. 

                                                          CRAFTS PROGRAM
                                                          Googly eyes, Popsicle sticks, painting, and clay: just a few of the possibilities from the Crafts department. A place where imagination and creativity rules!

                                                          SPIRITS PROGRAM
                                                          Skits, stories, and exciting reflective experiences with God and faith. Spirits is more than a bible study, its a time for campers to explore spirituality, faith, and ideas in a safe, fun environment. We strive to evangelize and catechize all who come to camp and welcome the message of Christ. 
                                                          "The challenge of this "New Evangelization" is clear; we are all called to live out our baptismal vocation through lives of sacrificial service, at the heart of the Church, for the sake of the world. All of the faithful, men, and women, lay, clergy and religious, need to view themselves as missionaries. We also need to view the mission of the Church as OUR mission." - www.catholic.org

                                                          WATERFRONT PROGRAM
                                                          Splash and swim in the lake, build sandcastles, or play some beach volleyball. Just add sunscreen, a whole pile of fun and you've got wide swim!

                                                          OUT TRIP 
                                                          One night on our very own island, sleeping in tipi's, cooking dinner over an open fire, an island-wide game, and baking bannock on a stick for breakfast. A real adventure.

                                                          CAMPFIRE PROGRAM
                                                          There is an incredible Campfire Program held on every night of summer camp.  This tasty mix of songs, skits, and reflections has become a camp classic and is the perfect finish to a rich and inspiring day. 

                                                          CATHOLIC MASS
                                                          We teach and live the basic teachings of Christianity and the Catholic Church.  There are daily reflections and discussions about God, faith, life, death, always rooted in Scripture and Tradition.  We conclude our week with a relevant and energizing celebration of the Catholic Mass which is open to all parents and family members of campers, counselors and staff.  We begin the celebration at 1:00pm on Fridays at the end of the week.

                                                          INCLUDING WIDE GAMES, THEME MEALS, MORNING REFLECTIONS, SINGING, MORNING ENERGIZERS, AND MUCH MUCH MORE!
