| Below is a story of a "typical day" at Outpost for our Day Camp Program. When you are finished reading the story, the links at the bottom will guide you to more information on our programs, philosophy, and Summer 2010 information! |
 |
At Outpost Summer Camps, your day begins with the friendly "Toot Toot" of the Outpost Express. Your driver smiles and greets you by name as you and the other campers in your neighborhood climb on the van. Everyone starts singing camp songs and your van's Junior Counselor soon starts a scavenger hunt to find things outside the van! |
| When you get to camp, you see that many of your friends from your group are already sitting on the logs with your Counselors. It's time for Morning Campfire and a silly game of Blitz! As you answer trivia, perform tricks, sing songs and watch the skits that start out the day, you can't help wondering what adventures lay ahead for you and your group, The "Sneaky Snakes"! |  |
 |
After Campfire, the Sneaky Snakes gather up for a round of Capture the Flag against another group, The Braggin' Dragons. Your team rallies together, cheering each other on, and devising secret strategies to seize the other group's prized flag. Soon after the game, your Counselor excitedly tells you about the fort you and your group are about to go discover in the far reaches of the Preserve. With the rest of your group the Sneaky Snakes, you set off together on your mission. |
| After an amazing hike surrounded by the natural wildlife in the Preserve, your group discovers a perfect spot for your fort! You create a secret area and sit down in a circle where no one can possibly see you and enjoy lunch with your friends. After lunch your counselor helps you finish making the fort, you each share what you've created, then as a group you all put everything back just the way it was so no one will ever know you were there! No one is sneakier than the Sneaky Snakes! |  |
 |
Once you get back to camp, it's straight to the van and off to the Ol' Swimmin' Hole. You have a choice today between playing with your friends and counselors in a big game of Sharks and Minnows or swimming the seven more laps you need to earn your Orca badge. You decide to work on your laps because you hope to have the most in all of camp. At the end, the counselors all have a huge greased watermelon contest - and your group wins! |
| After Pool, you return to camp. It's time for archery, snack and planning your skit for campfire. Suddenly it's time for Afternoon Campfire! Your counselor calls your group up to boast about your amazing adventurous day and amaze everyone with your super funny skit! The best part is laughing afterwards with all your new friends. Everyone LOVED it! |  |
 |
You still can't believe what a great day it has been for you and your friends as you climb aboard your camp van. You know you'll have a good time on the van ride home, sharing stories with the campers from other groups and singing camp songs. When the van gets to your house and it's time to say goodbye, you grab your swim badge and can't wait to tell your family about your exciting day and are even more thrilled to come back for more adventures tomorrow! |
