Junior Adventurers: 5-7 years old

Our Junior Adventure program is comprised of daily swimming, arts and crafts, cooperative games, and free play. We have planned age-appropriate activities that keep in pace with the hot summer months. Sample crafts include paper mache, volcanoes, jelly fish, sun visors, fimo clay, origami, collage, and water colors. Campers travel to nearby lakes for weekly beach days and Look Park for water play. They also attend theater performances and have guest presenters on campus. Weekly schedules have included theme days like pirates, super heroes, and, backwards day. Cooperative games include hide and go seek, fishy fishy cross my ocean, night watchman, piney tag, yarn ball, melting tag, and parachute games. The staff ratio is 1:5 which includes professional teachers and college students working toward the field of education.

 

Adventurers: 8-12 years old

The pace of an Adventurers day gets pretty busy! Campers are going on scheduled outings daily. Trips have included morning hikes to destinations like Poet’s Seat, Eaglebrook Mountain, and Mount Tom and full day hikes like Mt. Skinner, Northfield Mountain, and Mount Ascutney. Adventurers have organized crafts that include tye dying, hemp braiding, and water rockets. Campus activities include capture-the-flag, Field Day, Water Day, kickball, hide and go seek, and pillow polo. Daily swimming includes trips to Laurel Lake, and Lake Wyola, or staying here on campus at our outdoor pool facility. Off campus trips also include berry picking, museum trips, Look Park, Forest Park Zoo, Wendell State Park, and Barton’s cove for fishing and canoeing. Opportunities during the day for free play on the playground exist every morning and during snack and lunch. Of course, one of the highlights of an Adventurers experience is the campus campout where all adventurers sleep in tents on campus (rain permitting), enjoy yummy s’mores, and play exciting games. Each day brings a new adventure! Our staff ratio is 1:10 which includes professional teachers and college students focusing on the education profession.
