Camp Activities

There are so many things to do at Hidden Bay! During each day our day is broken into 5 different activity blocks.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DAILY SCHEDULE AT HIDDEN BAY

For the majority of the day, campers will travel with their activity groups to take part in the five program areas of Hidden Bay.  These are, Eco, Waterfront, Creativity, Movement and Leadership.

These five program areas cover all the different activities in camp, and while every camper will participate in these five areas, that doesn’t mean doing the same thing every day.

During Creativity, the campers might do a traditional arts & craft activity, or try their hand at woodworking, or maybe participate in a storytelling activity.

Eco can include, geocaching, fire setting, dip netting, fishing, fort building, knot tying, wood carving & tool use, and other forest activities.

Movement gets every body moving, with archery, yoga, basketball, soccer, hiking and more, there is always a way to get active movement for all ages and abilities.

Waterfront is where we get wet! With swimming, canoeing, kayaking and even paddleboarding providing campers options on getting active on and in the water.

Leadership bring campers to our low ropes and portable leadership props.  Even starting at our youngest ages, we encourage campers to use their leadership skills in specially designed leadership challenges.
