Overnights and Camp Craft A chance to sleep under the stars. Listen to the
screech owl and the peepers. Wonder how the ground ever got so
hard, or how the dew effects your sleeping bag in the morning.
Run to the tent at the fear of rain. Roast marshmallows over the
fire. Burn your first hot dog. Roll down the uneven ground in the
night. Try in vane to locate that one pesky mosquito. Tell
"ghosts" stories. Figure out who snores and who talks in their
sleep. Wake as dawn rises above the horizon and hear the birds
just starting to wake. Memories. Nothing can give it to you but
the experience. We cater our programs to the advanced camper
outer, and the beginner.
 Every week all summer long
there is a horse overnight that goes out once a week. All campers
in the Full
riding program that are staying for at least two weeks are
given a chance to participate. These
Horse Overnights are taken to Star Hill, the highest point
just off camp property.
 Other overnight trips are
scheduled on a weekly basis. These may be to Star Hill, on camp
property at a closer location, or even just down at the lake.
They may be all boys, all girls, cabin groups or age groups. They
range from the very minimal, just the experience of sleeping
under the stars, to more extensive tenting, cooking out, building
your own fire experience.
 For more advanced
experiences, Daily classes are held in tent and shelter building,
fire building and maintenance, cooking and daily living
skills.
All Camp Craft instructors are certified in CPR and First Aid.
They have previous experience in camping and teaching. They have
gone through safety training for all related
activities.
