Daily Schedule
Each week, campers participate in activities around a weekly theme, such as scavenger hunts, orienteering, trivia games, dance, and more! While at Dodge Fitness Center, the lineup of sports and games can include basketball, whiffle ball, volleyball, track, frisbee, dodgeball, tag, gaga ball, and much more! Swim sessions, which include group lessons and recreational swim, occur four times a week for an hour. Little Lions Camp at Baker Athletics Complex takes advantage of the private outdoor space, along with the range of different athletic facilities available. Popular activities include handball, flag football, track relays, water games, soccer, and enjoying the big sprinklers. Tennis sessions typically occur four times a week while at Baker. The new tennis center, while mostly complete, still has some construction planned over the summer.
An example of a weekly schedule can be found in the Parent Orientation Slides near the top of the page.
