Do campers get to choose their activities?
Yes! Every morning each section (or unit) of campers has Section Meeting, where they sign up for which activity they’ll go to for each of four periods that day. Their Section Head tells them which three or four choices they have for each of that day’s periods, and they sign up for the one they choose for each period. The “menu” varies for every period, so kids can’t do the same thing all day. They do have to “shop around” and try everything. Once they sign up for their activities, off they go to 1st period. And yes, we do check to make sure that everyone goes where they signed up….. and doesn’t sit around in the cabin either! As well as the four periods, there’s a 5th one called General – At General every activity in camp is open, and kids have to go to an activity and participate. Which activity? Whichever one they choose – as long as they do one.
