Journey Camp - Daily Schedule

Two Week Camp and Girls Camp follow this general schedule.
See the page about the Moonseed Session for a separate description.

The campers tell us that they really appreciate being trusted to make their own decisions. First thing in the day, some arrive sleepy and some want to be active. We give them a chance to land in a small workshop before we gather as a whole group. We believe that offering several choices at each workshop period is important.

Flexible arrival: 8:45-9:15 AM

Workshop Period One: activities meet a range of needs
    Art Table
    Handcrafts including work with yarn and bracelet making
    Creative Dramatics
    Fire Circle 
    Music and songwriting
    Active games
    Dance

All camp gathering at 9:45 AM is a time for community building with singing, movement, skits and announcements.

Roots Groups: Small groups meet each day to build friendships among campers of similar ages. This is a time for snack then games.

Woods Time: The whole camp walks up to the woods where there is a choice of stick-housebuilding, arts and crafts, nature exploration and active games. Campers are able to go back and forth on a given day and follow their interests.

Lunch and free time

I you have more questions, we can arrange for you to talk to a parent or staff member to give a sense of the intangible qualities -- the welcoming spirit, the way that the campers look out for each other, the listening abilities of the staff, the nurturing, and the individualized planning that takes in the needs of each camper.
