Post this calendar on your refrigerator and check it daily so your child
will be prepared for every exciting day at Camp! Welcome to Camp
Evergreen! The staff are already eager to make this the
BEST SUMMER EVER!
This schedule for Summer 2016 is an “on-going schedule.” It lists many of the important
days at Camp and explains the activities that are offered. Each week has a theme with
daily related activities. Crazy Dress-Up Days take place on Fridays. This allows campers
to get a little crazy and wear something they might not normally wear to Camp. Fishing
derbies and canoe trips are offered each session. Sporting events are held throughout the
summer, with major tournaments noted on the calendar. We have super awesome Late
Nights throughout the summer. There is also a very special Indian Village Sleepover during Week 9 during our special One week Indian Summer. An “All-Camp Get Together”
takes place every Friday at 12:45pm. This is when campers and staff present their talents to the entire Camp. We encourage all campers to take the stage and shine! Parents, guardians, and family members are always invited to come and
watch.
Notes to Camp during summer are an important method of communication. Any notes indicating
medication for campers, swimming issues, Camp issues, early dismissal, or alternate pick up should be
given directly to the traffic team or put in the DROP BOX, please not left in your child’s backpack. The
traffic team will forward the note to the Camp office to be dealt with appropriately.
Canoe Trips are some of the special all-day activities occurring throughout the summer. They are offered the second week
of each session, Tuesdays for Unit 2, and Wednesdays for Unit 3. Campers spend an entire afternoon exploring the many
water ways in the surrounding area. Sign-ups will be held on Mondays of canoe weeks. Campers must attend the Canoe
Club training in order to go on the trip. Campers who sign up should come to Camp the morning of the trip already wearing
their bathing suits under their Camp clothes. Lunch should be packed in a waterproof bag and campers should bring a hat
to wear while on the water. Please note that only deep end swimmers will be allowed on canoe trips.
Fishing derbies are offered the first week of each session on Wednesdays. Campers may bring their own fishing gear,
which will be stored at Camp. Gear should be clearly labeled with the camper’s name and tent number. Campers will be
given the opportunity to make their own fishing rods and dig for worms to use as bait.
Late Nights are the best! What could be more fun than spending even more time at Camp? Late
Nights are offered every other week on Thursdays. Permission slips will be sent out the week before
the scheduled sleepovers. We recommend a change of clothes especially with a pair of long pants.
Campers must have long pants to wear at evening campfire. We will provide dinner, juice, and a
snack before campfire. Campers must be in Unit 2 or Unit 3 in order to attend the late night. A special
Mini-Camp Late Night is offered during Week 6 for younger campers in Unit 1 and Unit 2, allowing
them the experience of a late night but not staying quite as late.
Indian Summer has a unique focus on aspects of Native American culture, such as Native American
lore and tradition. All of the activities of this week are based around this theme. Special events include a 3-D Archery shoot, storytelling in an authentic teepee, and a phenomenal fishing derby! The
session ends with a special sleepover in the camper-created Indian Village, where campers have the chance to build and
sleep in their own shelters! The last day of Summer Camp is August 26th.
Birthday Parties during Summer Camp can be celebrated with your camper’s entire tent! Two things are needed. First, if
you wish to drop off goodies (watermelon, brownies, munchkins, etc.) they need to be dropped off at the parking area, or
during morning Camp hours at the Camp office. Second, please include a note to the counselor indicating these items are
at Camp so the counselor may make arrangements for a lunchtime party.
THE FUN DOES NOT STOP WHEN THE SUMMER IS OVER! HERE ARE SOME OTHER GREAT CAMP EVERGEEN
EVENTS TO PLAN FOR DURING THE YEAR:
Vacation Camp is a wonderful way for your child to get the most out of their school vacation. February Vacation Camp
will be February 15th - 19th and April Vacation Camp will be April 18th - 22nd. February Vacation Camp features indoor
and outdoor Camp favorites like skating, cross country skiing, ice fishing, arts & crafts, fort building, and more! April Vacation Camp is jam-packed with outdoor sports, nature hikes and trout fishing at our pond! Both weeks are packed with a mix
of cool activities which help make for a fun vacation break from school. Vacation Camp is a terrific way for your child to get
a taste of Camp before summer and experience some unique activities.
Birthday Parties at Camp Evergreen are one of a kind! For campers looking for that “something special”, consider Camp
Evergreen for your Birthday. Two hour themed parties are offered September through mid-June. We will help you create
any party imaginable. Some examples include drama parties on our stage complete with script, costumes and cast party. A
Boot Camp party with drill sergeant, camouflage paint and training for a mission might be the one for you. For you winter
lovers, plan a sledding party on our
sledding hill. Finish it off with an
amazing campfire and roasting
marshmallows. Or, you may choose
a nature party with a hike and campfire. There are so many possibilities!
Contact Camp Evergreen now and
make your next birthday party the best
ever!
