*All Camps Week is a Kidventure tradition where each of our sites puts together a performance consisting of a chant and dance routine. When we field trip that week, all our sites come together and perform — with the winning site receiving the coveted Spirit Stick! After the performances, our sites participate in whatever activities we have set up for them. (Our campers are not required to participate in the competition, but we do encourage them to go outside of their comfort zones and challenge themselves to perform.)
Please note: Field Trips are subject to change due to weather and other circumstances
