Based on participant feedback, we’re returning to having just one camp at Lake Sixteen for all age groups. The younger kids who attended Discover Camp last year will now get to spend equal amount of time at Lake Sixteen as the older kids.
Kids entering grades 1-3 will be considered “Explorers” and kids entering grades 4-7 will be considered “Trailblazers.” Kids will participate in activities with similar aged youth.
Camp schedule varies each week, but campers can expect to participate in group activities, swimming time, lunch, a field trip, and more.
