Typical Day
There is no true "typical" day at camp. Due to such things as the weather and other unforeseen circumstances, the camp schedule is more of a starting point - allowing for lots of flexibility. Each camp is also unique in its programming contents. For example, Water World campers spend their morning program time at the pool while the High Adventure Campers spend their program time at the high ropes course. The schedule also varies depending on the age of the campers.
