These activities are set up to gradually teach skills throughout the week and may include such things as Archery, Riflery, Sports, Arts & Crafts, Kayaking, Climbing, Newspaper, Photography, Drama, Music, Science, Fishing and Dance. If you choose to partake in one of our specialty activities this is the time you would select those activities as well.
Evening Activities
Evenings at Camp are full of energy, excitement and fun. We start the week off right with a Campfire full of silly songs, skits and costumes. Throughout the week your cabin will get the chance to take part in the camp classic activity of roasting marshmallows and making S’mores. A Camp Hanes must is the game of Rocks – a camp twist on Capture the Flag. You may also find yourself at a Pool Party or dancing the night away at the Camp Hanes Party. Whatever the night brings your sure to have a blast!
