During their one-week session, Pathfinders are introduced to a variety of activities and are able to explore their interests with the help of positive and nurturing staff members and a supportive community of campers their own age.  In addition to activities with their cabin group, Pathfinders also participate in afternoon elective programs as well as fun evening programs with the whole camp. 

New in 2012 we will be having Mini Skill Tracks for all campers in the morning. Campers will be able to choose from a wide selection of activities to explore for the week. On Sunday night campers will get to hear about the Mini Tracks they can choose from for the week. Then campers will spend 1 hour in each Mini Track each morning. This allows our Pathfinder campers an opportunity to explore some activities with other campers in shorter 1 hour sessions.
