While a few campers choose to fill their days to the brim with activities, most campers prefer to maintain a balance of activities and free time. This leaves time to take a walk, talk with friends, practice an instrument, write a song; time to email home, read a book, or listen to music. There are no handbooks to read, no forms to fill out, no computerized scheduling. During the first days of camp, every camper tours the camp and gets a one-on-one meeting with a teacher in each of our activity areas to ask questions and and express their interests. This is the beginning of a conversation that lasts the the whole session: children and adults communicating and working together to make the most fruitful use of their time.
