coordination. Our Intermediate

Arts & Crafts activities include woodworking, ceramics, painting, jewelry making, and other original projects. Campers enjoy a music program that includes a stage production, while the older campers work on their tennis skills. Our Intermediate campers experience a hands-on Exploration program with fun science experiments that change each summer. Campers in the General Program swim twice a day and receive instruction from our Red Cross certified staff. The General Camp has sessions that are, four, six or eight weeks.

Groupings
The General Camp is made up of two divisions: Junior and Intermediate camp program. Each division is supervised by a Division Head who is an adult with years of experience in education. A Group Leader and a Senior and Junior Counselor supervise each individual group. Many of the groups also have a Counselor in training, (CIT) who works with the other counselors and the CIT Coordinator in preparing them for a future counselor position.

Camper/Staff Ratios
Juniors include ages three through five, with six or eight campers in each group. Intermediates include ages six through eight, with no more than ten in a group.

Mini Day
Parents whose children are three or four years old may register for either a full day or the mini day which ends at 1:30 p.m. Mini Day campers board regular transportation in the morning and are picked up by a parent in the afternoon. We are sometimes able to provide midday transportation to families that live nearby.

Special Events
Carnival Day, Field Day, Water Day, Theme days, as well as performances and appearances by professional entertainers are just a few examples of special events that take place throughout the summer. Campers and staff also learn about community service as they get involved in raising awareness and in working together for a common cause. Finally, all our campers enjoy barbecues held on four Fridays during the season.
