Activities include horse back riding, canoeing, bonfire, swimming, arts and crafts, hiking, and much more. Counselors and nurses are on staff at all times and meals and lodging are provided. The camp is open to the public. The cost is underwritten by local donations. Please see our calendar of events for a brochure and registration forms.
