We're so excited for another fun-filled summer!
This season we've made some changes to better serve overnight campers & camp families:
Overnight camp is where campers build confidence, independence, and lasting friendships while exploring the great outdoors. Each week blends curated clinics and workshops with beloved all-camp traditions and evening programs. Campers come together for Opening Campfire with songs, skits & s’mores, Staff Hunt, our all-camp game of hide & seek, the Bead Ceremony celebrating years spent at camp, and Kimball Capers, a skit night followed by a guided night hike. During free time, campers choose their own adventures, from rock climbing & swimming to arts & crafts, field games, archery tag, and more.
Race to the top of Goliath, paddle across Long Lake, or become the card game champion! Campers will have the choice of game-based morning and afternoon clinics, participate in all-camp competitions, and experience classic evening activities during a week of teamwork, confidence-building, and play. Clinic options may include: card & table games, teambuilding, sports, and water games.
With miles of waterways to explore, our canoeing and kayaking program is a favorite among our campers. With experienced instructors and top-of-the-line equipment, campers will have a blast while staying safe.
Level up your summer during this week of daily adventures designed just for teens: challenge your limits with rock climbing, giant swing, and the high ropes course; canoe to Kimball Pointe and dive into hands on forest study at our nature preserve; learn survival essentials like shelter building, fire making, and wild plant identification; and compete in the Ultimate Team Challenge, a high energy experience focused on teamwork, problem solving, and confidence building.
Get wildly creative through hands-on art experiences designed for all skill levels. Campers will work together to plan and create large-scale projects such as murals, sculptures, and simple carpentry pieces. Along the way, they’ll build confidence, practice teamwork, and develop creative problem-solving skills while contributing meaningful projects that become a part of camp for years to come.
Through the generosity of our donors, we offer need-based scholarships to ensure all children have the opportunity to experience the joy of summer camp.
