LIFE AT CAMP

Each day, campers enjoy a busy schedule of productive rehearsals, activities, and memorable performances in the evening. When rehearsals are over, there’s plenty of time for swimming, kayaking, tennis, arts and crafts, and more! Our beautiful waterfront is managed by CPR-certified YMCA lifeguards. We always have a few activities that get the whole camp together at once, including a campfire, field games, and dance.

Daily Life

After breakfast, we cycle through orchestra, chamber music, and sectional rehearsals, followed by a short activity period before lunch. After lunch, we take a break to rest before the longer afternoon orchestra rehearsal. Once we’ve wrapped up rehearsals for the day, it’s time for the afternoon activity period. Campers have their choice of all the wonderful amenities that are offered, such as staff-led field games, arts and crafts, and waterfront activities. Our day ends with an evening faculty concert, followed by an all-camp activity.

Daily Schedule

Most of our meals take place outside as weather permits. Campers eat family style with their bunk and counselor. The YMCA-operated kitchen does a fantastic job of making sure everyone’s dietary needs are met. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and any other restrictions need not worry; there are plenty of options for everyone. Make sure to list any special dietary needs on your health form.
