ELECTIVES

Electives are the "choice" blocks offered to campers in both Base Camp and Specialty Camps, in which they can choose from a wide range of interesting and fun activities.  As campers get older, there are more elective blocks in their schedule, and the choices reflect each age and stage of development. 

How electives work for Base Camp:

• Middle Campers choose four different electives over the course of their week, each of those running for two consecutive days, for a total of eight elective blocks.

• Upper Campers choose six different electives over the course of their week, each of those running for two consecutive days, for a total of twelve elective blocks.

• Senior Campers choose four different electives over the course of their week, each of those running for two consecutive days, for a total of eight elective blocks.  They also have additional group Choice Blocks built into their schedule.

• Lower Campers choose from a more limited selection of age appropriate activities, introducing them to the process of choosing. By maintaining a high level of flexibility we ensure that these campers have fun and are successful.

How electives work for Specialty Camps:

• Specialty Campers choose three electives after lunch on Monday/Tuesday afternoon, and choose three different activities for Wednesday/Thursday afternoon. Each elective runs for two consecutive days.

• Some Specialty Camps (Drama and Video Production for 5th-8th) have extended time in their program areas. Those campers choose one elective for Monday/Tuesday and a different elective for Wednesday/Thursday.
