Programs & Activities
CAMP ACTIVITIES
Our program is designed to provide campers with the chance to participate in a variety of activities through a rotating group schedule. Camp Beyond offers a wide range of activities, including:
Intensives
Each afternoon, campers have the opportunity to participate in our intensives program, allowing them to "dive deep" into two activities over three consecutive days. For instance, a camper might choose a baseball intensive, where they receive hands-on, personalized instruction from our baseball counselors. This focused approach enables campers to enhance their existing skills while also learning new ones. Camp Beyond offers a diverse range of intensives to ensure that every camper can engage in an activity they love. While all other camp activities are co-ed and organized by age group, the intensive blocks bring together boys and girls from all age groups.
Discovery
At Camp Beyond, we aim to foster the holistic development of our campers. Each day, campers participate in our Discovery program, featuring a range of activities designed to enhance their social and emotional skills. Each session is guided by a specific daily value, allowing campers to broaden their minds, nurture their hearts, and strengthen their emotional intelligence.
Typical Daily Schedule
While day at camp day is distinct, the daily program contains many familiar elements. Here’s an overview of what a typical day looks like:
MORNING
Following wake-up and breakfast, the camp comes together for Morning Summit. At Morning Summit, we do cheers, introduce the value of the day, make announcements, review the schedule, and get excited for the day ahead!
After Morning Summit, each group goes to three morning activities, including Discovery. Discovery blocks are geared toward self-discovery through group activities and offer campers a chance to reflect on the intention of the day and the experiences they are having.
AFTERNOON
Following morning activities, there is lunch and "rest hour" or quiet time to relax, read, and spend free time together.
After rest hour comes a fourth group activity, followed by intensives. Intensives are activity periods that allow campers to focus on a single activity over three days and develop their skill set in that area.
After intensives, there is a brief wash-up and free play period, when campers have the opportunity to choose between four activities, followed by dinner.
EVENING
After dinner, the whole camp comes together for Evening Summit, which includes a nightly awards ceremony, during which we recognize campers for their outstanding contributions throughout the day.
Evening Summit is followed by an evening activity, which will range from talent shows and sports tournaments to campfires and dance battles.
Each day closes with some free dorm time before lights out.
While this represents a brief portrait, there is far too much going on to describe on paper. There will be hikes and excursions, exciting all-camp events, and fun and engaging activities for campers and team members to enjoy!
Special Days
There are a few Special Days at Camp Beyond. On a Special Day, there is a special program which takes the place of campers’ regular activities. Campers may go on out-of-camp trips to amusement and water parks, baseball games, and other scenic destinations near camp. Campers will just have to wait and see what these days entail!
