Weekly Activities

Archery

Safety is our priority as campers learn the basic skills of shooting a bow and arrow under the watchful eyes of our experienced staff.

Arts and Crafts

Creative expression through art is a wonderful way to share part of your personality.  Campers are exposed to a variety of mediums such as clay and paints, and create projects to bring home to the family, as well as brighten the camp.

Basketball

Campers polish their skills by playing games and shooting hoops in a non-competitive atmosphere.

Computers

The air-conditioned computer room houses laptops, where campers play fun and stimulating computer games, as well as utilize some of the more entertaining and constructive Microsoft Office Programs.

Land Sports

Everyone loves to participate in these age-appropriate games.  They are always action-packed and fun, and promote teamwork and good sportsmanship.  How about a game of Capture-the-Flag?

Nature

Everyone enjoys learning about nature by taking hikes, enjoying the beautiful scenery at CFS, and appreciating the environment.  Campers make discoveries through hands-on activities.

Performing Arts

From musical games to writing short plays, Performing Arts is an outlet that offers opportunities to unleash many talents, relating to music, drama, and dance.

Soccer

The campers are taught basic soccer skills and advance through scrimmage and fun games.  Teamwork, as well as individual success is highlighted.

Swimming

Campers learn swim techniques and water safety from our certified lifeguards in a nurturing environment.  They develop at their own pace while advancing through skill levels.  The afternoon is time for free swim.

Tennis

Our experienced tennis counselors teach all skill levels with fun games on our 6 courts.

Special Activities

Early Bird Special

The Early Bird Special is every Tuesday and Thursday morning.  It is an opportunity for campers to have a friendly competition in events such as the feather race, the marshmallow toss, the wheel barrel relay, and Whacky Trivia! A great opportunity for fun and prizes!

Choice Time

On Wednesdays, campers take part in special events set up by the counselors.  Tie-dyeing, ice cream making, volleyball, story telling, and jewelry making are just some of the unique and exciting activities offered to compliment the already bustling camp program.

Olympics

The Olympics are a fun and exciting day of friendly competition amongst campers and staff, who are divided into four team colors for the day.  The events start with the lighting of the torch and the “cheer” contest, followed by the track and field events.  After lunch, we finish up with the pool events, including the Staff Battle Royal!  To top off the experience, there is the Iron Camper competition and the John D. Kistler Award, given to one boy and one girl camper who exemplify the ideals of good sportsmanship and leadership.

C.I.T. Fair

The counselors-in-training (C.I.T.) get together and under the guidance of the C.I.T. coordinator, facilitate a series of games and events for the entire camp!  There are fantastic prizes and goodies for everyone who participates.  It’s an extravaganza you won’t want to miss!

Lip Sync

Each group of campers picks a song, adds a dance routine, and presents a show of magnificent proportions that would rival any Broadway production!  Parents and friends are invited to attend this gala, as well.  So, come out ant see who will be the Lip Sync Champs!

Slide Show

On the final day of camp, we present a pictorial of the season in review.  Pictures, video clips, and songs allow campers, staff, and parents to relive the wonderful memories of the season.  .

Friday’s Special Events

On the Fridays when we aren’t doing Lip Sync, Olympics, C.I.T. Fair, and the closing slide show, we offer a special activity for the entire camp.  These events change every year to allow for the best possible entertainment, ant included a professional skate boarding team, magicians, a Birds of Prey show, the Flyers Phantoms clinic, and the Sixers’ Hoops!

Rainy Days

Once in a while we do experience some “liquid sunshine.”  But at camp, we throw on our ponchos and rain gear and keep having fun!  In addition to the programs that are already indoors, every outside program has an indoor site and activities that will keep our campers safe and entertained!
