A Day in the Life of a Camper

A day in the life of a camper is filled with magical, transforming fun. Each day presents a new challenge or adventure and new opportunities to explore.

Camper cabins at Flying Horse Farms will typically house 8-10 children and 2-4 counselors, depending on the age and needs of the group. Counselors work with campers to create an environment of sharing and appreciation. Just like at a traditional summer camp, children learn about teamwork, consideration of others and personal responsibility.

Below is a sample schedule of a day in the life of the campers:

7:30 am — Wake up - The call of birds in the meadow and the sunrise over the lake will awaken campers. While their bodies may be slow to rise and shine, their minds will be keen to see what new adventures await them each day.

8:30 am — Breakfast followed by cabin cleaning - Campers eat together in the dining hall and are offered a selection of delicious and healthy foods. If there are specific dietary restrictions, appropriate items will be provided. Following breakfast, all campers will return to their cabins where the group will work together to ensure the cabin's tidy. Then the real fun begins!

10:00 am — Start of morning activities - Camp activities are vast, varied and transforming experiences. They include sports, arts & crafts, swimming, canoeing, fishing, hiking, archery, horseback riding and more.

Noon — Lunch followed by rest period - All campers return to the dining hall for a midday refuel and then it's back to the cabin for a little rest.

2:00 — Start of afternoon activities - Rested and fed, campers are ready to embark on more fun and participation in a variety of activities.

6:00 — Dinner - Cooking every day for a troop of hungry campers gives the kitchen staff a great understanding of what kids like to eat. Whether the menu is spaghetti and meatballs, roast chicken or some other creation, campers are well-fed and appreciative of the great meals they get at camp. Dinner time is also an opportunity for campers to catch up on the day's events and share stories with one another.

7:00 — Evening programs begin - Every evening is filled with a new and memorable experience. Some evening activities may be a camp-wide event such as a talent show or campfire. On other evenings, groups may be smaller or limited to individual cabins. One thing is for certain, evenings are fun at camp.

Every day will end with some sort of cabin closing to help campers to recap their day. They will ask and answer questions, indulge and create new thoughts and memories. The time is designed to help campers get the most out of camp. Counselors may think of a question of the day or create a discussion where everybody can learn to appreciate one another through a time of intentional relating.
