Almost all campers attend our seven-week session. To help make new campers more comfortable, they are assigned 4 older "camp sisters" prior to camp. Our highly structured program is designed to give campers a well-rounded camping experience and exposure to many activities.

WEEKLY SCHEDULES
Monday through Saturday is devoted to instruction, day and overnight trips and intercamp (competition with other camps) activities. Sundays are devoted to Blue and White activities (low key competitive games) and there is no instruction.

ELECTIVE ACTIVITIES
Of the 6 periods during an instructional day, Juniors elect one, Inters - two, Seniors - three or more. Juniors and Inters make their choice daily. Conversely, the remaining periods are scheduled and the entire cabin (sometimes with another cabin) attends the same activity.

BLUE & WHITE ACTIVITIES (SUNDAYS)
Many Blue and White activities are “Robindel Games” designed to make it easier for all children to play and enjoy. Blue and White activities are highly spirited with constant cheering and offering a change of pace for both staff and children.

EVENING ACTIVITIES
We always have organized evening activities - many involve the entire camp and some are designed to promote interaction with all age levels. Evening activities include bunk skits, songfest, talent show, gymnastics show, dramatic presentations, socials with boys’ camps and campfires (every Sunday evening for the entire camp).

OVERNIGHT TRIPS
All children are exposed to overnight trips such as two-day trips into the White Mountains and occasionally canoe trips on our lake or a river.

Seniors have “Big Trips” to Camden (3 days), Bar Harbor (4 days), both on the Maine Coast, or to Quebec City/Montreal (6 days), optional white water rafting in Maine and the opportunity to climb Mt. Washington (highest peak in the Northeast).

Four day trips on Wednesdays to cultural, environmental and recreational points of interest include Dartmouth College, summer stock theater, water slides, alpine slides, Maine coast and beautiful sites in the White Mountains and elsewhere and a special trip to Boston for the girls who have completed 6th grade.
