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:
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (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)
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
