A Capella Camp is located on a beautiful wooded peninsula that extends a half mile into
Panther Pond. The 90 acre peninsula is criss-crossed by a few miles
of trails through oak, birch, hemlock, and white pine trees.
Group instruction will take place on our stage ten yards from the water's edge, and facing our
campfire pit where nightly camp meetings take place. Individual lessons will be given on our woodland
stage which affords a slightly more private setting.
The
forest trail system is used for nature walks and jogging during free periods. Trails traverse the
peninsula and follow the shore of
the lake providing spectacular views.
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, slip-n-slide, and water fights. The
beach is bordered by great
shade trees under which there are
beach chairs that provide
a beautiful setting for knitting and reading.
The
camp dining hall sits right 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 more 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 against the shore.
