8th & 9th Grades - C.I.T.

9-9:30

Roundup

Roundup is a Maplewood tradition where we meet at the basketball court for morning announcements and to sing and dance together.

9:30–12:00

Counselor in Training with Camp Groups

The C.I.T program gives our most mature campers those entering the 8th and 9th grades, a feel for what it takes to be a counselor, without the responsibility of being a counselor. Each morning, they learn and grow by interacting with the campers and observing and assisting the counselors and specialists. The interaction and mentoring they receive will help strengthen their abilities and they will naturally begin to develop the skills needed to be future leaders.

12–12:30

Lunch

After a morning of running and playing, campers meet at the pavilion, Maplewood’s outdoor picnic area, and enjoy lunch with their group while relaxing in the crisp fresh air.  Lunch options include bringing lunch from home where we refrigerate upon arrival, or preordering food delivered to Maplewood from My Hot Lunchbox.  In the afternoon, campers gather under the pavilion for ice cream and to spend time with their camp friends.

12:30–1:00

Archery

Take aim...Ready...Fire! Archery is an archery that helps improve focus, concentration, and hand-eye coordination. Although many of our campers come to camp having never used a bow, they leave feeling confident and excited about their new found skills.

1–1:30

Swimming Lessons (daily)

Our waterfront staff works hard throughout the summer to help campers adjust to the water, learn to float, and learn basic swim strokes. Nothing beats taking a ride down “Hoppin Hal’s tongue-slide,” into our Olympic sized heated pool.

1:30–2:15

Club Day

(Camper’s Choice) provides campers entering first grade and above multiple opportunities to shape their own camp experience.  With over 40 activities to choose from campers will always find an activity that will excite and challenge them.

2:15–3:00

Rock'N'Ropes - Climb Adventure

Our Rock Climbing Wall & Ropes Course offers campers the opportunity to step outside of their safe-zone. Campers and students challenge themselves throughout the year in a supportive and safe environment, participating in the flying squirrel, slingshot, and space station.

3:00–4:00

Ice Cream Dismissal

Each afternoon, our campers get an ice cream treat, from cones to sandwiches to bars, all made in a nut-free facility. We also always offer a lactose-free, gluten-free ice cream option.  Our ice cream has no high fructose corn syrup or artificial food coloring.

Carnival

Carnival brings the camp to life with music and laughter! Staff and campers join forces for a fun-filled event featuring interactive games, face painting, cotton candy, and lots of enjoyment!

Gold Rush

Gold Rush! Games & Gold! Enjoy thrilling games, discover shimmering gold, and immerse yourself in the spirited world of cowboys and endless fun!

Penny Dive

Penny Dive. Dancing on the pool deck combined with the search for pennies that get thrown in the Pool. Some of the lucky ones find a giant one! And penny dive would not be complete without a visit to the penny candy store.

Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger Hunt is filled with teamwork, riddles, clues, and giggles! Campers and staff all get into the action in search of Lee's hat.

Tie-Dye Day

Campers and staff gets into the action for our annual Summer Camp Tie Dye activity. At the end of the week everyone wears their creation and the camp is filled with a sea of colors.
