What dates are these activities available?
Activities are typically available on a first-come, first-serve basis from Sept.-May. Canoe, archery, and badge sessions are not available on the following dates: Sept. 19, 26, 2009; Oct. 24, 31, 2009; Nov. 7, 2010; Jan. 23, 2010 and Feb. 6, 2010. Challenge Course has limited availability on the following weekends: Sept. 19-20; Oct. 23-25, 31. These limitations are due to large events on camp. If you would like the self-led activities, these are always available.

Registration for activities begins Tuesday, July 15 for Sept. 2008-Feb. 2009 and on or after Thursday, Jan. 15 for March-May 2009 camping dates.
