Explorers (ages 13-14)
Traditional Camp at YMCA Camp Roger provides an opportunity for campers to participate in the wide range of activities offered at Camp Roger. Traditional campers will spend their week with 6-10 campers in a cabin, allowing them to grow through new friendships and experiences each year. Two or more counselors supervise a cabin and are instrumental in ensuring a safe, instructive, and FUN camp experience. Activities offered during traditional camp each year include fishing, horseback riding, arts and crafts, ropes course, swimming, archery, mountain biking, Sports and Games and so much more.
For the oldest campers, the Camp Roger experience will be totally customized by the campers themselves. At this age, we feel campers have the ability and are responsible to shape the camp experience to what is most meaningful to them. Beyond the activities themselves, we promote friendship, teamwork, responsibility and respect for their fellow campers and our staff. We want these campers to have ownership in their experience and encourage them think beyond themselves.
As a result, Explorers will be able to choose all the activities they want to experience during their week at Camp Roger. In addition to cultivating friendships and skills in teamwork, Explorers have the opportunity to spend more time at and refine their skill at the activities they are most interested in.
