Schedule
Since some of our programs are excursion-based and others more activity heavy, we have divided our summer into two different schedules. These schedules help to best suit the needs of specific weeks of camp, their themes, and the activities planned. Each day of camp begins at 9:30am with a check in time between 9:00 to 9:30am and the camp day finishes at 4pm with a pick up time between 4:00-4:30PM.

Weeks 6 and 7
Spelunk and Splash! and Outdoor Leaders
These specific weeks of camp incorporate traditional day camp activities, as well as adventurous, theme-related excursions to places around Central Oregon. The first day of camp is an “on site” day in which campers will rotate to three separate activity periods and have some time for an afternoon recess/water break. On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, we will get campers out in our community with special excursions where we will do activities, games, experiments, and more.
