Our campers jump out of bed to get dressed and wash up for breakfast. Then they put on their slides or flip-flops and start their way to the flagpole for Sticks (a college league game and quick way to take attendance) and flag raising. Then our campers eat breakfast with their bunk.

After Breakfast, our girls return to their cabins for cleanup where every camper must make her bed, and do her job on the job chart. At 9:20 am, the bugle blows, signaling the start of her first instructional period for 50 minutes. Our campers check their individualized schedule (see a sample schedule below) and start their adventure for the day! After our two morning activity periods, our campers enjoy their first General Rec period at 11:10 am. Gen Recs are designed like recess at school. All of our activities periods are open and our campers can choose, at that moment, what she would like to do, whether that’s continuing to work on a new skill or just having fun going down our waterslides with her bunkmates!

After Lunch, our campers have Rest Hour, where they can hang out with their bunkmates, write letters, play quiet games, or relax and read a book. At 2:20 pm, the bugle rings for their afternoon schedule with 3 activity periods, each period lasting 50 minutes. At 5:00 pm, it’s time for our Second Gen Rec, where she can choose any activity.

After Sticks, Flag Lowering, and Dinner, it’s time for an Evening Activity. Evening activities include College League games, professional performers, dance or talent shows, playdates and mixers with boys’ camps for our older girls, Friday Night Meetings or campfires. After evening activities, our girls enjoy “Kilk and Mookies,” Matoaka’s version of “Milk and Cookies” before returning to their cabin for “in-bunk time,” and “lights out,” which is soon to follow.
