Every week of camp includes theme days and spirit days where campers
participate in special camp activities. We also celebrate camp “holidays”,

    „ Every Thursday brings with it a different theme (ex. Carnival)
    „ Our camp “holidays” give you something new to celebrate
		 (ex. National Ice Cream Day)
Put it all together, along with Y camp traditions like opening and closing rally
and character ribbons, and you’re in for a whole new level of creative summer.
