For campers entering 3rd-4th grade in the fall, Adventure Camp offers a safe and active outdoor experience to build friendships, develop skills, grow in confidence, and create great summer memories! We plan each session to include many exciting activities such as go-karts, archery, moonbounce, arts and crafts, teambuilding activities, sports and water games, outdoor cooking and nature activities. We are excited to also offer these campers an Elective Program, which gives them the opportunity to choose an activity to specialize in.
Adventure Electives
**Electives Now Offered for Adventure Camp!!**
Due to the overwhelming excitement of High Adventure’s elective program last summer, we’ve decided to make certain electives available for Adventure Campers this summer. A brief description of each elective is provided below. Electives will not interfere with the regularly scheduled camp activities such as archery, go-karts, etc. and are only available during the sessions indicated.
- Anomolie Children’s Theater Program (Sessions 1, 2, 5, 6)
In this high energy program, campers will enjoy plenty of stage time as they sing, act and add choreography to their performance. They will learn some theater basics and then go crazy as they practice and prepare for their musical perfromance during the Saturday morning Parent Breakfast following the Overnighter.
- X-treme Art (Sessions 3, 4, 7, 8)
Designed for those campers who love creativity and art, this activity will offer campers the opportunity to take their art to the extreme. Projects will utilize a wide array of mediums and “canvases”, allowing campers to create unique works of art to take home, as well as offering them creative ways to leave their mark on Camp Sonshine.
- Sports Spectacular (Sessions 3, 6)
Designed for campers with a passion for sports,
this activity will offer coaching and instruction for a variety of popular athletic activities as well as some unique sports. Campers will participate in drills focused on their technical skills as well as have the opportunity to test their abilities against each other in supervised athletic competitions.
- Fun on the Farm (Sessions 2, 5, 7)
This program will give campers hands on experience with a variety of farming activities at neighboring Joyland Farms. From feeding and watering small animals, to tending to and harvesting the many types of organic produce growing, or even learning about making honey from a local hive, campers are in for a ton of fun as they spend time “down on the farm”.
- Lego Maniacs (Sessions 1, 4, 8)
Creativity, patience and teamwork are the keys to this activity as campers try to accomplish various tasks and objectives through the use of LEGOs. Campers will also have the opportunity to design, construct and program a LEGO robot that will need to perform a predefined task.
- Camp Classic (Available ALL Sessions)
For those campers who are not interested in any of the other Elective options available, they are able to join with other campers to enjoy some more of the regularly scheduled camp activities. There is no additional cost to this option and we are confident that campers choosing this will have just as much adventure and excitement as other elective activities.
Overnighters
Adventure campers can sign up for the Overnighter on Friday night of each session. Campers participate in special activities such as a specially planned all-camp activity, roasting marshmallows, cooking their own dinner over a fire, a special bonfire time they won’t want to miss, and camping out under the stars!
Families are invited to return to camp on Saturday morning at 9:00 A.M. to join their camper and the rest of the Camp Sonshine staff for our much anticipated End of Session Breakfast. After a fresh pancake breakfast and a few closing words from the directors, campers and their families will enjoy reliving the highlights of the week as they watch their Session Video.
Grouping
Adventure Campers will be grouped based upon similar age and by gender. You may request up to 2 friends to be placed within the same group. We will do our best to honor these requests but can not make any guarantees.
