Sylvaneers' week long camp sessions will include programming intended to build and strengthen relationships between campers of similar ages as well as provide opportunities for friendships and mentoring across age groups.  In addition to specialized outdoor programs like rock climbing, mountain biking, canoes, paddleboards, archery and fishing, all campers will have opportunities to swim in the outdoor pool, play gaga ball, dodgeball, basketball and other games on the court and in the field, enjoy the creek running through the magical Gnome Village and participate in all-camp evening programs including songs, skits and stories around the campfire in fellowship. Campers entering or attending high school will have an opportunity to work on their leadership abilities by mentoring younger campers as well as learning how to lead programs and activities.

​

3-Day camp sessions will be happening alongside each Full Week program and are intended to serve as a taste of summer camp for younger children still getting used to the idea of sleeping away from home. The 3 days will be packed full of activities that will appeal to kids of all types, and will include opportunities to interact with, and be mentored by older children at the week long session as part of their leadership development program. The 3-Day programs will be led by staff who understand these campers need an especially nurturing environment whose camp attendance alone may be a major step out of their comfort zone.
