Participation in the camp's extensive offering of activities becomes a much-anticipated annual tradition. Kids and adults alike engage in swimming, sailing, paddleboarding, and hiking, while the less adventurous can enjoy fishing, ceramics, and meeting new friends who share a love for the great outdoors.
