   MINI CAMP
  For boys ages 6-9, our mini camp allows boys  an easy transition into resident camping.                                           


Mini campers spend four days and three nights at camp in a specialized program. Campers are able to sample all of the favorite camp activities in a shorter period of time. Activities are developmentally age appropriate and geared towards first time campers. Our goal is to provide a fun, nurturing experience and to instill a desire to return to camp for years to come.

2009 Mini Camp:  June 21-24
