pine trees. Speed and conditioning games such as dodgeball,
soccer, lacrosse, touch football,
tug-of-war, and capture the flag are played in
the field. The
slopes of the hillside allow us to conduct hill sprinting exercises on a variety
of gentle uphill and downhill grades.
The forest trail system criss-crosses the peninsula and follows the shore of the lake providing spectacular views for athletes who are doing warm-up or conditioning runs through the woods. Speed games such as tennis ball fights are played along the trail system.
Our lumberjack gym is located in the camp woods. The outdoor gym has safe areas for splitting wood and dragging logs which are great exercises for building strength. The natural beach is flat, wide, fifty meters long, and composed of fine golden sand that
makes it a
great site for swimming, beach volleyball, and running drills. The camp dining hall sits on the shore so that every table has a view of Panther Pond through large screened windows. Campers stay overnight in ten airy screened cabins that are as close as fifteen yards from the beach and no farther than forty yards from the beach. Girls cabins are on one side of the beach, and boys cabins are on the other. Cabins are supervised by the residential counselor staff every night. Campers fall asleep at night to the sound of breezes rustling through the pine trees and waves lapping up against the shore.
