This session’s Bears (campers heading into 1st-4th grades) spent Friday afternoon hiking, playing, building forts, singing, and enjoying being together on their Bears’ Adventure outing. Because of the rain Thurday night and Friday morning, they headed to Big Campfire for story time then returned to their dry tents in camp to sleep Friday night.
Tigers are our campers heading into 5th and 6th grades. They’re at a great age for age group socializing and events, and they enthusiastically participated in two nights of our Tigers’ Social, which included socializing, snacks, and a rousing game of Bingo!

A highlight of the two-week session for our youngest campers (grades K-3), and their version of backpacking, is Bears’ Adventure. This one-night trip allows campers to experience sleeping outdoors under the stars and cooking over a campfire. Campers’ luggage is taken for them to the campsite, so they are not technically “backpacking,” because they have no pack to carry. With just their water bottle and their positive attitude, they set out from camp singing and talking on their hike.
The best part of Bears’ Adventure is the free time kids get to play and explore the area. For many campers, the longer sticks provide the perfect start to a fort. Others enjoy laying on their sleeping bags talking with friends or silently watching clouds move overhead. Some participate in crafts and games while enjoying being outdoors. For many of these kids, Bears’ Adventure is their first experience “roughing it,” and they absolutely love it.
When they hike back into camp the morning after their adventure, our Bears campers stand a little taller. And their dirty, smiling faces are the best indication that they have experienced the awe of nature.

On Sunday morning, we gave campers and staff the option to join us for a 5k walk/run around camp. We were SO impressed by how many campers wanted to participate and we had a great time getting some early-morning exercise in before breakfast!
