Camp Activities: Exciting Activities @ Camp THY!
This year, campers will enjoy a variety of fun and engaging activities designed to create lasting memories and foster community spirit. Highlights include our Santa Cruz Beach Picnic Experience, where campers can enjoy the sun and surf. Back at camp, there will be stargazing and an exciting outdoor star identification activity, along with a bonfire for cozy evenings under the stars.
Life at camp takes full advantage of an outdoor setting. Activities include field sports, swimming, and on-site backpacking trips. Although the weather can range from the high 80s to low 90s during the day, the nights can be chilly, dropping to temperatures as low as 40 degrees. It is critical that all campers pack accordingly to ensure they are prepared for the varying weather conditions.
In addition, campers can dive into arts & crafts projects, show off their skills in sports tournaments like basketball and soccer, or unwind at outdoor movie and board game nights. For those who love adventure, there will be prayer hikes, skit nights, talent shows, and thrilling game shows for everyone to participate in.
A Reptile Guy Zoo Visit will give campers a chance to learn about fascinating creatures, and we’ll wrap up the fun with an all-day pool party featuring bounce houses, obstacle courses, and a dunk tank. The week will be capped off with folk dancing and a lively party to celebrate the camp experience.
With a mix of physical, creative, and spiritual activities, this year’s camp promises something for everyone to enjoy!
