Journey through your imagination and explore your creativity. Indian Springs Day Camp is a progression camp where every year is different as you discover new skills in various activities— lacing, woodworking, cooking, crafts, outdoor skills, and more. Our awesome camp team inspires campers and adult volunteers to come alive with fun. With snow cones, water play, archery, songs, games, and s’mores, every day is guaranteed to be a new adventure. new this year: program stations for girls to earn a badge and work towards a journey.
We start our day in our units. Most units are made up of 15 campers in the same grade. We will keep troops together. Every day’s schedule is different. Units cook four of the
five days over a campfire or with a propane stove. Some units will combine for activities where campers can discover new friends, or reconnect with old ones. Your CIT or Unit Leader will lead your group to the various activities. You’ll also have time to go to a program station and earn a badge or work towards a journey. Don’t forget to visit the games area where you can hide under the parachute or have a friendly game of volleyball.
There is so much to do during the day, but by the end of the week, you will come away with many skills. You don’t have to be an experienced camper to enjoy day camp. Camp is for everyone.
