Description

Campers are assigned to a unit of 8 to 10 girls the same age. At least two staff members are assigned to each unit. Each unit sits together for meals, and breakfast is served at 7:45am. Following breakfast all units meet in the auditorium for roll call and announcements before the first activity. Here are the times for the four activity periods for all days except field trip day (Monday) and Crazy Days (Thursdays).

Lunch is served at noon, and at 12:30 half of the campers have a free swim period, while the other half has rest hour. During rest hour, campers stay in their dormitory rooms, or visit the room of another camper in the same unit. Campers are expected to be quiet, but are not required to sleep. Activities encouraged during rest hour are reading, letter writing, drawing, and playing card games. There is always a staff person on duty in the hall during rest hour and life guards at the pool.

Afternoon snack is at 3:30pm on the Colonnade or at the barn. After the last activity, there's an hour before dinner for changing clothes, taking a shower, maybe doing laundry or spending time with the girls in your unit. This hour is a unit activity time and allows the staff to become more aware of campers’ individual needs, and campers to develop deeper relationships with members of a small camp “family.
