DAY CAMP AT CHINGACHGOOK
We’re building kids that are confident, independent, resilient, and who understand that our community is better together. Serving campers aged 5 to 10, our day camp program is made up of 1-week sessions. Campers may choose to stay for multiple weeks, each week runs Monday to Friday with an option for extended care until 5:30 PM & an optional overnight each Thursday.
​
Our day camp experience is intentionally based on our core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. We value the opportunity to learn and grow with each and every camper while providing a variety of activities that give each camper a unique experience each day plus a chance to practice their independence.
A DAY AT CAMP
Our Day Campers learn to cooperate, work together as a team, share responsibilities and have fun. Camp groups are divided by age, but there is also time each day for our whole day camp community to be together.
The day camp program runs from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, with an early pick-up on Fridays at 3:00 pm. There is also an option for “After-care” which moves pick up to 5:30 PM for those who cannot get out of work earlier! Each day includes a nutritious lunch, afternoon snack, fun activities, and time to swim in beautiful Lake George.
Our main goal is to provide a variety for the campers and give them a taste of all Chingachgook has to offer, so each day camp week includes daily swim time, group games/teambuilding activities, sports, archery, climbing tower, canoeing, and daily choice time.
​
Day campers have the opportunity to see what staying at camp is all about with an optional overnight on the Thursdays of each week. Experiencing a campfire (complete with s’mores) and camping out in a tent with friends (or in Rotary Lodge if rain is in the forecast) is a great first step to getting ready for overnight camp.
