Daily Schedule

The Camp Buckskin experience provides consistency and support while offering new opportunities for success. Our daily schedule gives campers the structure they need and benefit from in a supportive environment. Our campers participate in the six main, regularly scheduled activities Monday through Friday – swimming, canoeing, archery and riflery, reading/writing, arts and crafts, and nature/environmental studies.

The campers rotate through and participate in the daily activities as a cabin group. The consistency of learning, playing, and working together presents ample opportunities to improve peer relations. It also provides the continuity that helps promote success. They attend three of the activities in the morning and the other three in the afternoon. Each activity is designed and purposefully organized so that each child will pass one or more formal levels.

Camp Buckskin places a priority on having campers gain knowledge and develop or improve skills. Campers learn in the style they are most comfortable with and that produces the best results. All activities stress fundamentals. As the fundamentals are mastered, campers progress at their own pace to more advanced skills and concepts. The camper’s achievements are recognized and positively reinforced, which helps motivate them to take on new challenges, both at camp and back home.
