A day in the life of a camper
Ever wonder what your kids do all day at camp? Well you're about to get an inside peek into...
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CAMPER
Campers start off each day with breakfast and song session.
Campers spend each morning as a group with their bunkmates doing all sorts of activities. On the first night, each bunk listens to presentations from the staff and then decides as a group which activities they would like to sign up for. Some groups choose drama and arts and crafts, while others choose to play frisbee and work in the garden.
After lunch campers have rest hour. It's a great time to try to catch a few zzz's (trust us, those campers are going to need it!), but for campers not in the mood, they're free to hang out with bunkmates, go to the canteen, or write home to tell you about their wonderful camp experience!
Afternoons are hot at Tawonga and we think that makes it the perfect weather for water play!
Bunks can swim, relax, and splash around in our olympic size pool, enjoy the slip n' slide on the grass, boat on our lake, get gnarly (an activity where campers learn it can be fun to be covered in paint), or go down to the river. But if you're not a water lover, there's plenty more to do! Campers can bake cookies, play basketball, frisbee, or gaga, learn Israeli dance, make pottery or enjoy other arts and crafts.
And if your bunk didn't make it to the pool during cabin time, there's free swim! No matter what your mood there's an activity for you. Feeling sporty? There's a water polo game going on. Just want to relax? Hang out in an inner tube.
After we give campers a chance to wash up it's dinner time! Song session is lively and includes lots of dancing. Bunks can choose to spend some of their time learning Israeli dances and we make sure to include the "dance of the day" in our song session for campers to show off their newly acquired moves!
If you didn't get a chance to do your favorite activity during the day don't worry! Campers have float time where they can choose individually which activity they'd like to go to and then stay as long as they'd like. Some of the choices are archery, yoga, boating on the lake, softball, arts and crafts, basketball, and many others!
Even when the sun goes down the fun doesn't stop! Night time activities include campfires, talent shows, star gazing and other camper suggested activities. 80's themed jazzercise? Sure! Hockey in the dining hall? Why not?!
After a full day, campers head to their bunks for bed time to rest up. Tomorrow is another day!
