CAMP DESCRIPTIONS - Camp Prairie Schooner

You will be busy bees as you explore and participate in the activities offered at Camp Prairie Schooner! During your time at camp, you will have the opportunity to be crafty, swim, hike, cookout, and spend one or two of your evenings around a campfire learning camp songs, telling stories and eating s'mores. Your counselors will help you learn about camp, and about the traditions that make the camp spirit strong.

Never been to camp before? Wondering what you can do at Prairie Schooner? If you love to go swimming, hiking, make crafts, eat s'mores and play games, then this is the week for you! With your counselors, you will have a chance to try EVERYTHING at camp as you make new friends and memories. All you need is a sense of adventure and a smile!

Have you ever wanted to build the ultimate slip and slide for you and your friends? Join your counselors in this fantastic week of water games, working on your swimming skills, and best of all - double the pool time! Enjoy an afternoon that YOU plan that is full of water activities and your own homemade carnival. You will even have the opportunity to hop in the pool for an early morning swim and a Polar Bear breakfast. Join us for this wild and wet week of water and fun!

It's an artsy, creative and fun kind of week! Use your creativity to complete projects ranging from basic crafts to pottery, theatre, painting and design. Your counselors will also work with you to plan your projects and to create an art-show to share with the whole camp! In addition to your regular camp activities, you will have the opportunity to help design and decorate for theme night and dazzle all your camp friends in the skills you have!

Animals, trees and sky… OH MY! Spend the week at camp exploring the environment and world around you. Go letterboxing and learn to use a GPS while taking some time to discover the trails and animals of Camp Prairie Schooner. Alongside your new friends and while doing regular camp activities, you will help complete a camp-wide service project in the process of learning about the habitats and ecosystems at camp during the day and under the night sky!

Get ready to glam up! Join other girls your age to have fun learning about healthy lifestyle habits, good etiquette, and the latest information on what's hot and what's not. Plan your own spa party for a night and prepare a fashion show on camp fashion versus real world fashion. You will also get to spend time splashing around in the pool, being crafty, and taking some time to hike the trails of camp to be a part of nature's beauty.

Are you a night owl? Do you love staying up late and having fun? In addition to crafts, swimming and hikes, you will stay up later than the rest of camp and sleep in longer while exploring constellations and nature at night! Make some late-night snacks as you sleep out under the stars for an evening. While enjoying the wonderful world of nature during the day, you will take some time to explore the camp and all it has to offer in the fun of night!

Spend the week learning to cook many different ways! From propane stoves and dutch ovens to campfires, your counselors will guide you as you experiment with camp recipes! Learn about healthy living and healthy cooking all while building your own concoctions with your friends. Help us out by making a snack for all-camp night and build your own recipe books to take home at the end of the week (remember to bring your favorite recipe to share!)

If you dream of living in the great outdoors, pitching a tent to sleep in, cooking your own meals, and exploring your natural surroundings, then this is the session for you! Join us for a session of fun-filled experiences while primitive camping with your counselors and new friends! You do not have to worry about missing out on the traditional camp fun, because we will make time to go swimming, have a snack and take part in other great camp activities!
