\"list<\/a>Choices, choices, choices!<\/h3>\n

Each day has different activities, so there are always plenty of new things to try.<\/p>\n

Each day there are 2 afternoon activity periods (we call them electives<\/strong>) when you get to pick what you would like to do! For each elective period, there are about 6 different activities to choose from. The best bit about electives is that because your counselors choose what activities they offer if you have a great activity idea you can request things!<\/p>\n

Because every day different activities are offered, it’s hard to say exactly what will happen during your time at camp. We try to make sure that each period has a good variety of activities, so everyone can find something they like. Whether your interest is in learning new skills, playing big games, being arty, relaxing or exploring the forest, pond, and river we hope to have something for you.<\/p>\n

Some elective examples:<\/h4>\n

  • Bottle rockets<\/li>\n

  • Archery<\/li>\n
  • Soccer<\/li>\n
  • Frisbee Golf<\/li>\n
