Camp List Form
"One really nice part is that I feel comfortable to be myself. I feel very confident and don't need to worry about not being able to do something because I am always learning new things. And learning is part of the fun for me." -Keegan Deemer, age 12
Dragonfly Day Camp for ages 6-10
Scroll down for more information on camps for ages 10-14
Dragonfly Day Camp is our exciting outdoor camp that runs for 5 days. Kids will learn and practice survival skills, fire making, nature crafts, and play games. Our days will be filled with playing in the creeks, finding natural mysteries (i.e. feathers, bones, and bugs), and building a primitive "campsite". On hot days we will cool off in the creek or setup the giant inflatable water slide!

Restrooms, Changing Clothes, and Privacy at Camp
- We have a private composting toilet house where kids can use the restroom.
- We also teach and encourage kids to learn to pee in the woods. This is done by having female staff teach a group of girls at a time (while all fully clothed) with emphasis on finding a private spot away from the group and how to avoid getting pee on yourself. These are also outdoor skills that can be taught at home before coming to camp.
- There are 2 private stalls for changing clothes in if that is needed. For example, changing into swimsuits for water play or changing out of muddy clothes. These stalls also have full length mirrors for tick checks.
