Low and high ropes challenge course
Cooperative games, trust activities and ropes elements create group unity and encourage development of problem solving and leadership skills. The low and high ropes elements consist of a series of cables, ropes, and obstacles strung between trees and are designed to challenge campers and camp groups to work together to accomplish a given task.

Swimming
During each camp session campers utilize both the indoor and outdoor pool and splash park. Campers take part in a YMCA Swim lesson - a condensed version of the Y's year round classes. In addition campers will enjoy free swim time. A team of certified life guards and trained swim instructors closely monitor the swimming areas.

Archery
While learning to hit the target with the perfect shot, campers will be improving hand-eye coordination, balance and concentration. Certified staff teach the basic skills and proper safety procedures. Ages 5 & up.

Arts & crafts
A variety of exciting projects are planned to provide hands-on, creative fun for every age camper. From clay to collage and painting to picture frames, campers enjoy an array of arts and crafts. Camp favorites like tie dye, gimp, and friendship bracelets will be included in the fun.

Sports
Campers will experience a variety of sports and games including basketball, soccer, t-ball, wiffleball, kickball, floor hockey, golf, dodgeball, tag and more. Emphasis is put on active participation, teamwork, sportsmanship, and fun!
