During this shortened, four-day week, campers will head to various locations on campus to play classic backyard and indoor party games. The field, gym, and, dining room, and theater, will all be utilized to play games like croquet, frisbee golf, badminton, bags, washers, hot foot, and ping pong, to name a few. Although there will be no off-campus field trip this week, campers will swim on Wednesday and Friday.

Choose to be funny, silly, or dramatic, and show off your unique talents in this fun, upbeat, and supportive environment. Utilizing our theater and stage,  campers will have the opportunity to perform skits, engage in dramatic play, improvisation, dance, and comedy routines. Additionally, campers will record and edit their performances to share with family and friends. This is a challenge by choice activity and other opportunities will be available during stage time. 

Join us for an experience you will never forget, as we chase the spirit of America’s favorite pastime through the heartland! We’ll head north and catch a minor league baseball game in Peoria, IL. Next, we’ll travel to Iowa to watch two classic movies about baseball (“The Sandlot” and “Field of Dreams”) at one of the two remaining drive-in theaters in the state. The following day we’ll play a baseball game on the actual baseball field that was built and featured in the “Field of Dreams” movie. In addition to our baseball focused activities, we will also break up the drive by stopping to explore caves at Maquoketa Caves State Park as well as taking some leisurely breaks at various swimming holes along the route.
