Summer Camp
The camp runs for eight weeks out of the summer, from the middle of June to the middle of August. The camp is made up of boys and girls with ages ranging from age 8–14. Campers may attend one week due to high demand to enrol. Campers arrive at 3:00pm on Sunday and leave at 9:00am on Saturday.
In a week at camp, campers will learn how to sail, canoe, and swim. They will also be involved in arts and crafts, nature and recreation classes. At night time camper activities include Mario night, Gettysburg, skits and concerts. One night out of the week each cabin along with their brother or sister cabin will go to one of several camping sites, a time when campers will learn how to put up a tent, cook food over a fire and bond with their fellow campers. Meals are served family style in Mac Hall, a log cabin located in the middle of camp.

Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or camp:
“The nectar and ambrosia, are withheld;
And in the midst of spoils and slaves, we thieves
And pirates of the universe, shut out
Daily to a more thin and outward rind,
Turn pale and starve. Therefore, to our sick eyes,
The stunted trees look sick, the summer short,
Clouds shade the sun, which will not tan our hay,
And nothing thrives to reach its natural term;”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The Indians invited us to lodge with them, but my companion inclined to go to the log camp on the carry. This camp was close and dirty, and had an ill smell, and I preferred to accept the Indians’ offer, if we did not make a camp for ourselves; for, though they were dirty, too, they were more in the open air, and were much more agreeable, and even refined company, than the lumberers.... So we went to the Indians’ camp or wigwam.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
