Fun Weekly Activities for Campers
Wyonegonic has a varied Land Sports program that allows campers to participate in activities they choose each week. Some campers like to concentrate on one area while others try different activities each week. Our non-competitive atmosphere allows anyone to take part in the program and develop new interests.
Tennis & Pickleball
Wyonegonic has two clay tennis courts and one hard surface court. Campers learn the skills needed to play tennis through lessons with a counselor. They can practice strokes, volley with other campers, and learn the rules of singles or double-match play. Fun games and drillsare emphasized during lessons. Pickleball has been a popular activity and is a great way for campers of all skill levels to try a different paddle sport.
Tennis and pickleball are also popular activities during campers’ free time.
Advanced players have the opportunity to play for the Wyonegonic Tennis Team in the WWWA Tournament, which takes place twice each summer with three other local camps.
Archery
We have an archery range where campers can shoot under the supervision of a certified archery instructor. Archery is hugely popular for Juniors and Intermediate Campers who fine-tune their skills through practice and progression through levels. Senior Campers may also take an archery class on occasion.
Riflery
Girls in Senior Camp are able to continue their marksmanship skills at our 50-foot rifle range. Campers are taught the safe and proper handling of a 22-caliber target rifle by a trained Riflery Instructor. They keep track of their scores and strive to join the Bull’s Eye Club.
Sports
Campers enjoy the occasional pickup game of soccer, basketball, or volleyball. We offer these options for variety, not as a focus of our daily camp instruction. We have a grass field and a sand volleyball court. Basketball hoops are available in both Intermediate and Senior.
Shooting baskets or playing a volleyball or soccer game with friends is popular during free time.
