Each week’s theme shapes and influences the activities planned for each day of camp but what can you rest assured that Grotonwood teaches kids to embrace the great outdoors and enjoy time away from phones and electronic devices (please leave these at home).
We host traditional camp activities like Archery and cutting-edge camp activities like Segways in order to keep things interesting and help our campers build life skills such as how to problem solve, be independent, and use critical thinking.
We swim every day at our private beach on Lost Lake. Daily activities may include archery, fishing, camp fires, rock climbing, boating, crafts, hiking, big team sports, messy games, low rope challenge course, biking, chapel time, scavenger hunts, singing, workshops, life skill classes and much more.
