Most every week there is an (optional) awesome field trip for the 2nd – 6th Grade Campers. Our oldest campers, the Senior Campers, often have the option to go on two field trips per week - one trip is with 2nd & 3rd graders and the other trip is just for them.
Our well-planned trips are great fun for everyone involved. Our camp staff has spent numerous hours creating field trip planning documents for each trip that include contact information, directions, locations of restrooms, and much, much more. When we hop on our bus, we're quite prepared. Before we arrive at our locations, our students are given some flourescent yellow "doodles" tee-shirts to allow for quick and easy identification of all our campers and our staff have walkie-talkie radios to allow instant communication.
Please take a look at the list of field trips and either register for a week of camp or just drop-in on your favorite days. To ensure you’ve got a seat on the bus/van, please sign up at the front desk as early as possible.
There are always alternate (and fun!) activities happening at camp - campers (or their families) can choose to remain on-site instead of going on the field trip.
