A place to be yourself.

LAND

Archery

Archery develops eye-hand co-ordination and concentration. It takes a keen eye and a steely grasp, and campers develop both under the guidance of qualified instructors. There are 5 levels. And if a camper gets a bulls-eye, it's announced at a meal in front of the whole camp!

Low Ropes Course

Intermediate and Senior campers can sign up for the Low Ropes Initiative. The Camp Oconto version of tight-rope-walking, the Low Ropes Initiatives has campers working to cross rope bridges low enough not to require harnesses but challenging enough to require peer and counsellor support. Groups of 15 girls work together for the two-week/month interim, working their way through the 13 different levels. The Low Ropes Initiative is a great way to discover insights into team work, group dynamics, cooperation and the contribution of an individual's particular strengths.

Tennis

The tennis program provides an opportunity to gain new skills in classes and tournaments. Enthusiastic players can learn and practice daily.

Nature

Campers love this activity. Here they learn to name the different types of leaves or find out how to build a proper and safe campfire. The Nature activities are about understanding and respecting the environment and learning about the surrounding landscape. A "tripping badge" is earned through this activity, campers learn how to pitch a tent, stow food, and be safe around a campfire or cooking stove - it is a must for any camper wanting to go on a trip.

Horseback Riding

English Riding is available to campers of all ages. They will receive approximately 40 minutes of instruction five times in a two-week session (weather and schedule permitting - we'll do our best, but if she goes on a trip for five days we won't be able to make up all of the classes). Riders also receive instruction in stable management, and grooming and feeding of the horses. An A.S.T.M. approved riding helmet is required. In addition, long pants and shoes or boots with a heel are also needed. Riding fees will be added to your daughter's account (see invoicing).
