Day Camp
The Day Camp area is located on the opposite side of Briggs Rd. and is home to the Day Camp and Horse Camp programs. This section of camp includes a large amount of land that is unused/undeveloped for camp purposes. Three of the four platform tents used for "camp-outs" are located on this side of the road, as well as the high ropes course.
Day Camp is centered around a large enclosed pavilion. This building includes restrooms, offices, and storage space, but half of the pavilion is open for activities. The Day Camp area also includes a large fenced play area, a small chapel, the Children's Garden (where campers learn about various plants and insects), a soccer field, and a three-sided outdoor rock-climbing tower with zip line.

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or camp:
“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
