Sampler Program - Progression Camp
Description
We’re excited to introduce our new Sampler Camps for both Day Campers and Progression Campers. These short-and-sunny programs offer a bite-sized taste of camp life, perfect for families who want to take Camp for a test drive.

Campers will experience everything they would in our full Day or Progression Camp, just in a three-day splash. Day Camp Sampler groups rotate together through nature, crafts, swim lessons, games, and songs. Progression Camp Sampler gives campers the chance to build their own mini-schedule, choosing from our most popular activities to capture the best highlights of Camp.

Cooking
Who doesn’t love delicious home-made food? Campers have fun making great-tasting and healthy dishes! Find out how to safely use a knife, the difference between a dry measure and a liquid measure, and much more. This class utilizes materials from Cornell University’s Choose Health curriculum and features great recipes as well as basic cooking techniques.
Crafts
This perennial favorite can incorporate a wide variety of art forms including textiles, painting, sculpture, miniatures, crafts from recycled materials and much more! Campers make several creative projects throughout the week, then take them home on Friday!
Critter Care
Campers take care of a variety of animals including pets and farm animals. Roll up your sleeves and work with a collection of camp animals including farm and pet animals! Helping to feed, water, groom and clean these animals are great opportunities for campers to work directly with the critters. This class is ideal for campers who have pets at home or are just interested in learning more about proper animal care.
Fishing
Campers practice catch-and-release fishing, as they hook the sunfish and bass in our ponds. They learn to bait a hook, cast spin rods, and land the big one! After several years of major improvements to our pond area and fishing programs, this class is sure to be more exciting than ever!
Outdoor Survival
Would you know what to do if you were lost in the woods? This class will teach you how to secure the basic essentials of food, water, and shelter, as well as fire building and much more!
Project Projectile!
Catapults and trebuchets and slingshots, oh my! This new class invites campers to design and build a variety of simple machines to launch the fun a little farther! Using STEM lessons from Cornell, Campers learn about Newton’s Laws of Motion as they build a variety of launchers big and small. They’ll use the scientific method as they sketch up their ideas, build the machines, test them out, and then refine their ideas based on what they learned in testing.
Sports
This isn’t your regular old boring sports class! Sure, we’ll have soccer, kickball and basketball, but we’ll also give campers a chance to try something new! Kick off on your broom in a game of Quidditch, take the field in a game of Ultimate Frisbee, or jump in the pit for some Gaga Ball. You just never know what kind of craziness your counselors are going to come up with for this class!
