A Typical Day

There are surprisingly few “typical days” but that is one of the beauties of camp compared to school.  We have opportunities to be flexible, take weather into account, add the element of surprise, and even do some crazy and creative things…as long as they are done with careful planning and safety foremost in mind.  We follow these schedules six days a week.

Sample Schedule for Weekends:

Weekends are are often a time when Wyonegonic special events occur!  Such as Saturday Night campfires, Musical Plays, the Roadrace and the Horseshow.

Sundays offer a change to our daily routine.  We have a sleepy breakfast and our non-denominational Pine Grove Service is held in the morning.  Our buffet lunch allows us to eat with our sisters and friends from other units.  Afternoons include brother/sister visits with Winona, a  special unit activity or game and time for campers to create their activity schedule for the upcoming week.  Evening Program on Sundays is Cabin Night.

“I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful summer. It always amazes me how great it feels to return ‘home’ to Moose Pond. Being able to share that feeling with campers – to make Wyonegonic their home as well – was incredible. Thank you for preserving such a special place.”  from a camp counselor
