Where Every Great Adventure Starts
With our team of proven experts in the camping industry, the program will be unlike anything your campers have done before. Hike, learn target sports, sing songs, do arts and crafts, participate in a Color War and much more!
For parents, if you did not experience day camp, you might believe it to be a fun way to provide daycare for your child in the summer. However, great day camps are so much more. They are places where our campers will grow and test their boundaries. They will express their creativity and make new friends.
Houses: Camper Groups
Our camper groups are divided up by age (based on their 25/26 school grade), and these are called our Houses.
There is a high likelihood that Houses will be divided in half during some activities. But, have no fear! If your camper is attending Base Camp with a buddy, they will still have plenty of time to play together!

Join our Counselor in Training program and learn the skills needed to become an incredible camp counselor! Help lead our young campers to become great community members – teach them team-building skills and sportsmanship, play games like Gaga, and instruct them through their arts & crafts projects.
The Counselor in Training (CIT) program gives older campers the opportunity to experience Base Camp from a whole new perspective. CITs develop leadership skills, learn what it takes to be a great role model, and gain hands-on experience supporting younger campers and activities while still enjoying all the magic of summer camp.
**This position requires candidates who are responsible, coachable, and have enthusiasm and fun energy all day long. All 6th-8th graders (2025/26 school year) are invited to apply for the Counselor in Training program. Counselors in Training will go through a Base Camp orientation every Monday and will then be assigned to specific Houses and activities for the rest of the week.

Standard activities occur twice daily and campers will be scheduled into these activities on a weekly basis. These activities include: arts and crafts, field games, mountain life, hikes, target sports, song & dance, nature science, and other activities specific to the area!
Weekly Activities occur in the afternoon. Campers will participate in each activity once weekly. These will include…

Field days will vary depending on that week’s theme.

Check out the calendar to see what's in store for this summer!
Daily Schedule
The week before your camper(s) will be joining us, you will receive their schedule for the week. Each day will have a similar structure but new activities!
Morning
Right after you drop your camper off at Base Camp, we will come together and get warmed up for the day. With songs, skits, and dances, there is no better way to get ready for the day.
We will then break into our House groups and begin our morning activities! Your camper will participate in two morning activity blocks. Arts and crafts, hikes, ropes course, field games, archery and more, our mornings are jam-packed! Activities are developed with camper age in mind, offering the right level of challenge and FUN!
Lunch Time
Houses will enjoy picnic lunches together before jumping into our afternoon activity blocks.
Afternoon
With 3 activities in the afternoon, the fun doesn’t stop! A rotating activity schedule throughout the week allows every camper to participate in each activity at least twice to ensure campers can hone with skills.
Before we know it, it’s after 3 pm and time to wrap up the day! During this time we sing camp songs, eat a snack, and dance the afternoon away until it is time to be picked up. As your campers leave they are already thinking and dreaming about the next camp day to come.

Drop Off & Pick Up
One Big Circle With Everybody In It
It is the Base Camp way! If your camper is not feeling well, we kindly request that they stay home from camp that day. If a camper exhibits signs of illness while at camp, we will reach out to you and have you come to pick them up immediately. We work diligently to maintain an illness free environment at Base Camp and we appreciate your support in this effort!
Paperwork & Payments
To ensure a smooth first day please complete ALL of your paperwork found in your CampinTouch account.
Financial Assistance
Base Campers may be eligible for scholarship funds through our partner, One22 Resource Center’s Youth Enrichment Scholarship (Y.E.S.) program. For each week of Base Camp, we reserve a number of spots for Y.E.S. campers. You do not have to register with Base Camp if you are planning to apply for the Y.E.S. program. When the Y.E.S. applications open, you will apply directly to the Y.E.S. program to reserve your camper’s spot at Base Camp. We will be in touch after that.
