At ARROWHEAD, we believe "a busy child is a happy child." All campers are placed in bunks separated by age and gender. Each bunk will follow a roster designed with our expertise - exposing our campers to literally dozens of fun, safe and varied activities throughout the camp week based on age appropriateness.  We offer an 8 period day, 2 of which are swim (morning instruction, afternoon recreational) and another being lunch which leaves 5 daily periods for our campers to explore our activities and challenge their abilities. For our Senior campers we offer 2 Club Periods (electives) daily and our Intermediate Campers enjoy a once daily Club (elective). Our rosters are designed to vary the camp day by switching between strenuous, athletic activities (tennis, basketball, soccer, softball and the like) totally sedentary activities (art instruction, computers, nature and the like). All interspersed in between activities which challenge the mind and body with appropriate exertion (rock climbing, archery, waterslide, boating and the like) . Lots of fun, lots to do, lots of "happy campers!!!"  Click through these pages to see for yourself!!! (click here for sample schedules!) |
