Point Theater—Our Senior Division will have the chance to attend an outside theater featuring exciting plays.
Covert Ops—Ever wonder what it would be like to be an undercover spy? Our campers dress in all black to test their skills in this mission to infiltrate an enemy’s base and obtain a valuable prize.
Seminar Day—Campers choose from a variety of exciting activities from advanced canoe trips to star gazing. It’s a full day of new adventures.
Movie Night— Everyone grabs their sleeping bags and come together to watch a movie on the big screen. We set up a large projector and campers enjoy a film under the stars.
Vespers—Counselors and both tribes take their turns singing silly songs in costumes.
Brother/Sister Picnic—If our campers have siblings at Camp Stewart they have the opportunity to eat a picnic lunch with their brother!
Carnival— A Dunk Tank, Bouncy House, and Limbo—Oh my!
Overnight—Each division ventures to a different outdoor campsite to enjoy fire cooked meals and sleeping under the starts

The 14th and 25th are rather special days on camp! Valentine’s Day and Christmas, of course! Make sure you pack some gear to support your favorite holidays as we will celebrate them all day long!

 

Camp isn’t camp without campers

June can’t come soon enough! Can’t wait to see all your smiling faces!
