Camp Silver Birch

For campers ready for more. High ropes, mountain biking, orienteering, outdoor cooking, and a Thursday out-trip (canoeing or climbing). Skills are tracked with camp badges all summer.

The heart of Camp Silver Birch. Campers rotate through swimming, archery, crafts, forest games, and campfire skills in groups of 10, and every week ends with the Friday Big Show for families.

A gentle first camp experience for our youngest explorers. Nature walks, water play, story circles, crafts, and lots of snack breaks — with a 1:4 staff ratio and a nap-friendly quiet hour.

Multi-sport training with heart. Soccer, basketball, ultimate, and track fundamentals with real coaching on movement, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Ends with Friday mini-tournament and awards.

A two-week leadership program. Week one builds skills — group management, safety, program planning. Week two places LITs with junior camp groups under mentor counselors. Includes certification and a written evaluation.

Build, code, launch. Campers program LEGO robotics, design games in Scratch, build bottle rockets, and demo their creations at the Friday Showcase. All equipment provided — no experience needed.

A week on the water at our Lakeshore campus. Daily swim instruction toward Swim Kids levels, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and beach games — run by NLS-certified lifeguard staff.

Our most senior program: three weeks of hands-on placement across camp areas, weekly leadership seminars, Standard First Aid & CPR-C certification, and a final evaluation that feeds directly into our counselor hiring.

Five days from blank page to opening night. Campers write, design, and perform an original mini-production — acting, set painting, costumes, and stagecraft — capped with a Friday performance.
