Songs and s'mores by the waterfront.

If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Why?
Yellow, it is bright and full of energy. It also reminds me of the sun, which makes me smile.

Crafts and games! We also like to play water games in the rain- it is a lot of fun!

What is an outdoor activity that you enjoy doing?
Canoeing with the girls. We look for fish, turtles and flowers, being in nature is so much fun.

Do you have a favorite campfire food?
I really enjoy eating hot dogs cooked over the open fire.

What is the reason you come to camp every summer?
I enjoy seeing the same campers come year after year.

A Typical Day at Camp Elfin Glade

9:00 Arrive at camp! Campers come by bus or are dropped off. We begin each day with an opening flag ceremony where each unit gets to take a turn raising our flag. We also use this time for daily announcements.

9:15- noon Activities with unit (which may include the swim time)
12:00 Lunch (units eat on own therefore time may vary slightly)
12:30-3:00 Activities with unit (which may include the swim time)
3:00 Closing flag ceremony
3:30 Campers head home! Either on the bus or picked up.

Popular activities during the day may include going swimming, crafts, or participating in an All Camp activity. As a unit, your camper will work with her counselors and fellow camper s to plan out their week around the theme of the program they signed up for. They might put on a play, cook over a fire, or go on a hike. There are lots of ways to have fun at Elfin Glade Day Camp!
