Alongside these circus adventures, campers can enjoy all their classic camp favorites like climbing, archery, boating, horseback riding and team-building games, giving them plenty of ways to play, explore and make new friends. During Explore More activity blocks, campers can pick what excites them most-whether it’s learning clown tricks, decorating carnival props or flying on the rock wall.
Midweek brings Theme Thursday: Big Top Day! On this special day, campers can dress in bright carnival colors, silly clown accessories or fun circus outfits-think clown noses, top hats, sparkly vests or colorful scarves. It’s a playful, creative way to celebrate the magic of the circus and make the day even more festive and fun! The week wraps up with an all-camp carnival, full of fun games, crafts and activities for everyone to enjoy. It’s a week of magic, laughter and big-top fun that campers will remember all summer!
