Week 1: Born to Be Wild!
Come embrace your wild side! Campers will put themselves to the test, exploring nature and learning how to survive in the wild. We will be getting our hands dirty searching for wildlife in the forest and pond as well as building our own shelters in the wilderness.
Week 2: Messy Madness
CAUTION: THIS WEEK WILL BE MESSY! But, that is what camp is for, right? Prepare to engage in all of the wildest, messiest things Camp FUNset has to offer. Try on spaghetti hair, play in the mud and put paint on your face. Its going to be a crazy time!
Week 3: Walk the Plank!
Do you love exploring and friendly competition? Campers will become pirates battling for the best loot and hiding it in places where the other pirates won’t find it. Can these campers keep their treasures safe? Can they score even more treasure by the end of the week? We can’t wait to find out!

If we know one thing it is that our campers LOVE to show off their musical talents. Let’s jam out, boogie down and rock on together all week long.
