Camp: Destination

As the summer continues, we are so heartened to see so many of our campers making friends - be it with those in their group, older than them, or across our community - the most important aspect of Camp: Destination is connection, and boy - connection is certainly brewing!

We are so proud of so many campers who have put themselves out of their comfort zones, introduced themselves to one another, and are finding themselves as fits within a community larger than oneself. We are so excited to see these relationships continue to develop - and don't worry, if your camper hasn't started yet, there's still much more friendship to come!

As we say at camp - "Camp: D Friends Are Forever And They Won't Be Forgot!"

Today, in 3rd - 5th Grade - we made sure to have an awesome challenge & continue building the spirit of our group!

Placing down our Jiu-Jitsu Mats, campers were broken into teams & each received a 2-Liter Bottle with their teammates. Campers had to work together to get the 2-Liter Bottle as far on the Jiu-Jitsu Mat as possible, without ever touching the mat itself. It was challenging - but boy, did our team get built!

Check out some photos from this Mat, Bottle, Team-Building Spectacular!

Some fun & footage from Week 2! We are RAIZIN' THE BARZ!

Each Monday at camp, we have Team-Building! In this program, campers will work with those in their camp group to develop the team & community spirit of their group - pushing campers to work with new people, complete new challenges, and partake in the journey & evolution of their camp group!

Today's Team-Building challenge consisted of listening, talking, guiding, & well, blinding! Scaffolded by age, campers had to complete obstacle courses with their eyes closed, listening only to the instructions & movements of those around them. We had some laughs, some falls, some stumbles - but most of all, in every group, we had some MASSIVE success - and the start to some strong communities at camp this year!

Week 2 kicked off, and we got SENSATIONAL! That's right - this week, our "GET SENSATIONAL" Choice launched, and what an awesome start to a brand-new, epic program!

This choice - otherwise known as, "The Sensory Choice," is all about sensory, sensational madness! Today, campers worked in pairs and were blindfolded, as they felt a slew of mystery objects - ranging from Orbeez, to Noodles, to Shaving Cream, to so much more. As partners escorted them around the Sosh, we had to figure out what was in each mystery bowl - and wow, what laughs we had!

Check out some BTS of "Get Sensational," a brand new hit! We'll be bringing you more updates all week long!

Leaf Blowers!? What!? That's right - Enter the CAMPNADO knows no limits, just as we don't at Camp: Destination. The fun can never end in the programs which we experience!

In this program, campers have been competing in a variety of challenges using Leaf Blowers. Be this obstacle courses, relay races - or even more wild challenges, like mural creation, and eating Gushers with only the power of the Leaf Blower to guide us, the CAMPNADO has been a wild place, but one thing is certain - it has been a ton of fun!

Check out some behind-the-scenes of our glitter experience yesterday, as we entered the CAMPNADO!

Did you hear about the Wheel of Fun? The Wheel of Fun is our Thursday Circuit, and what an awesome kick-off to a brand new program! In this program, the Camp: Destination Leadership Team came up with a variety of challenges on our "Wheel of Fun." Spin the wheel - and challenge accepted!

However, the Wheel of Fun has a twist! Whichever group scores the most points, well, they become the owners of the Wheel of Fun for the following week, and get to craft the new challenges which the rest of the camp will compete in. What an awesome experience in our camp groups!

Kindergarten - 2nd Grade took the victory lap yesterday, and will be presenting our second Wheel of Fun on Thursday, June 4th! What an awesome new Circuit Experience!

Run, run, run! Duck, jump, spin! Human Subway Surfers has been a HIT this week! Instead of playing the game on a phone - why not bring the fun to life?

In this choice, campers have been building & creating their very own Subway Surfers courses, and then participating in them - live! With cops, robbers, and obstacles galore - we cannot wait to see which camper will unlock the power ups & levels like never before!
