Camp Age Groupings

Whippoorwill is made up of six camps, with special activities for each group.

1. Bear Cubs: Campers who have completed kindergarten and are entering first grade enjoy exploring the farm or playing in the creek. Counselors help campers choose activities which are specially crafted for this age group. Activities range from archeology, archery, arts and crafts, camp singing, fishing, free swim in the pool, horseback riding, kayaking, exploring the nature museum and trail hikes. Bear Cubs get three activity choices each day.
2. Log Cabin Camp: Campers who are entering 2nd or 3rd grade and are 7-8 years old make choices to create their special day. Activities include those listed above as well as field games, rappelling, swim time in both the pool and pond and zipline. Campers get four choices during each day.
3. Teepee Camp: Campers who are entering 4th-6th grade and are 9-12 years old have fun choosing adventurous activities four times daily. All activities described above are included with additional fun in tree climbing, rappelling down our brand new 40-foot wall and the ever popular Flying Squirrel.
4. Teepee Elders Camp: Campers who are entering 7th and 8th grade. Campers will experience all the same activities as the Teepee camp with additional special programming each week. They also assist with fire building on Thursday for cookout day.
5. Leadership Challenge: A two-week program for 9th and 10th graders with an emphasis on leadership, responsibility, team building, decision-making skills and having fun! This special group participates in leading Council Ring and a few camp activities for the younger campers. The dates for this program are July 19-30, weekdays only.
6. Counselor in Training: New this year is our CIT program geared towards 11th and 12th graders or 16-17 year olds. CITs will learn the basics of camp counseling while building a strong foundation in leadership and learning the importance of childhood development. Those interested must fill out a CIT application.
