Elementary Events

Designed for those entering grades 1 - 5 in Fall of 2008. See age requirements per event. Elementary campers will sleep in cabins. The programs are designed to ease young children into experiences away from home. A typical unit consists of two cabins (one for boys and one for girls), each with six campers and a counselor or two in each. Although it is our preference to include boys and girls in each camp unit, occasionally enrollment patterns dictate that a unit be all boys or all girls.
