A Day In The Life

The morning begins with Reveille at 8 a.m (9 a.m. on Sundays!). We raise the flag and eat breakfast together, then head back to Cabin Row to clean up our bunks. A morning is filled with an age group assembly and two morning activities. After lunch, we take a break for Rest Hour to recharge for the afternoon. Three more hours of play and instruction follow in the afternoon and by 5:15 p.m. we’re all ready to freshen up! After dinner we enjoy free play, evening activity and snack before its time for bed!
