Field
The field is used for many activities and games such as SPUD, capture the flag, and croquet.
Waterfront
Open swim is never dull with a water trampoline, floating toys, water basketball, and numerous docks.
Cabins
Most cabins feature built-in pine wood bunks with storage shelves built in between each set of beds.
Servery
Our buffet style serving line always features a vegetarian option on top of a well balanced meal and friendly servers.
Beach
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, D-Day invasion, and sand castle building. The beach is bordered by great shade trees under which there are beach chairs that provide a beautiful setting for reading.
Woods
The forest trail system is used for tennis ball fights, guerilla warfare, nature hikes, and capture the flag. Trails traverse the peninsula and follow the shore of the lake providing spectacular views.
Dining Hall
The dining area is the oldest building at camp. It sits on the water's edge, and the reflections of sunlight dance on the ceiling at breakfast each morning.
Carlson Colosseum
The Colosseum is a huge indoor space ideal for volleyball, floor hockey, indoor soccer, baseketball, small dodgeball games, and our weekly trivia night. It is also our storm shelter in case of high wind or thunderstorms.
Campfire
Our campfire area is located right next to the lake. It seats over 150 people on large log-style benches. Our dance floor is the site of many competitions, performances, and dances.
Boys' Cabins
The boys' cabins all lie within 150 feet of the water. They feature large screened windows for excellent ventilation, and cozy wooden construction for a real camp feel.
Girls' Cabins
The girls' cabins are on the opposite side of the main lodge. They are all within 50 feet of the water.
Sport Courts
Volleyball, basketball, badminton, and tetherball are fun free-time options.
Bunks
Most of our bunks are built of white pine along the edges of the cabins to give campers proximity to the windows.
Picnic Tables
The area outside the dining hall has several picnic tables for those campers who prefer to eat outside.
Reading Hour
Campers have one hour each day to work on summer reading.
Board Games
During rainy periods, the camp offers a number of activities including some more relaxed games from our collection of board games.
