Creative Arts

Use your incredible imagination and creativity!  Arts & crafts, and photography top the list.  With enthusiastic instruction and encouragement to explore their artistic side, campers create their own works of art through a variety of creative mediums.

Gymnastics

On our outdoor gymnastics court, girls build focus, grace and strength while they improve their acrobatic abilities on the uneven bars, low and high balance beam and tumbling mat.  Be creative!  Develop your own routines and join the stunt club with aerials or front rolls.

Horseback Riding – English Saddle

The horseback-riding program offers high-quality instruction that centers around fundamental riding skills, safety practices, and overall enjoyment. Campers of all skill levels, from the novice to the accomplished equestrian, will find tailored opportunities to build both their skills and confidence as they progress through the program.

Marksmanship

You can excel in marksmanship! Archery and riflery follow national advancement programs.  Target shooting has been a popular activity since the early days of the camps.  As with all of our other activities, safe participation is our number one priority.  You will develop skill and discipline in these Olympic sports.  Hitting the bulls-eye is the ultimate goal!

Outdoor Adventure

Campers are intrigued by beautiful, abundant wildlife in the Wisconsin Northwoods. Everyone gets a chance to go on an overnight camping trip, eat s’mores , and sleep outdoors in a tent. There are campfires and cookouts every week and if you like animals sign-up for our zoo and nature program. Excursions to a Ropes course and Lake Superior for our Explorers North sailing trip compliment the outdoor adventure program.

Performing Arts

Enter the world of imagination and make believe.  Be a star!  You can perform in plays, musicals, or even dance performances.  At the end of every two weeks, campers proudly show off their talents in a spectacular camp show.  Lights, camera, action!

Sailing

One of our most popular activities!  Our fleet consists of X-class trainers, Hobie Catamarans, Windsurfers and Mini-fish.  The variety of boats allows for a thorough introduction to, and advancement in, the world of sailing.  Sand Lake is ideal for sailing!  There are sheltered coves for instruction in beginning skills on all boat classes and open spaces for the more advanced sailor and racer.

Swimming

The waterfront is one of the best places to be at camp, especially on warm summer days! Perfect your strokes in instructional swimming and/or take time out for play in recreational swim. The swimming area has designated sections for campers based on their swimming ability.

Tennis

Tennis is a sport that you can play throughout your lifetime.  A camper’s love for the sport can start right here with our United States Tennis Association (USTA) advancement program designed for all ages and skill levels.  Campers practice on outdoor finished courts improving their serves, volleys, and ground strokes with one on one instruction and creative drills.

Tutoring

A summer at camp in itself is a great way to prevent learning loss while away from school!  Should your camper need to brush up on some specific coursework, we have skilled staff to tutor children in most school subjects.  Contact us to find out more about our tutoring program.

Water Sports

There’s more than swimming at the waterfront!  Water-skiing, knee boarding, tubing, wakeboarding, canoeing, fishing and water volleyball.
