Activities
Since 1911, Coniston provides traditional camping experiences such as canoeing, swimming (swimming is mandatory at camp unless excused by a nurse at camp or a doctor), fire building, ropes, archery, riflery, drama, tennis, frisbee, wood shop, soccer, land sports and the arts. Camp also offers different things to do during free time such as Drama Production, swimming, or just chatting with friends.
During the day, campers have four program areas. There are also two free times, siesta (a time to rest after lunch), and an evening program. The evening programs range from all camp games or dances to individual cabin activities.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
“Both at-home and working mothers can overmeet their mothering responsibilities. In order to justify their jobs, working mothers can overnurture, overconnect with, and overschedule their children into activities and classes. Similarly, some at-home mothers,... can make at- home mothering into a bigger deal than it is, over stimulating, overeducating, and overwhelming their children with purposeful attention.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
“The old, subjective, stagnant, indolent and wretched life for woman has gone. She has as many resources as men, as many activities beckon her on. As large possibilities swell and inspire her heart.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
