MEMORABLE DAILY ADVENTURES
A day at Waukeela feels like a week in a kid’s normal life, but it goes by like a minute! Each day is packed with exciting and wonderful adventures. A simple meal is an entire hour of singing, every activity is an opportunity to get better at something you had never done before, and every night is filled with crazy and thrilling games that leave kids ready for a night time of giggles and chats until the very moment they close their eyes and get ready to do it all over again.
KIDS GET TO CHOOSE
From years of experience, we know that learning can only happen effectively through play, and play cannot be forced. Kids at Waukeela choose their challenges and learn to be intuitive in their decision-making, listening to their body and their mind, as well as to others. These decisions are made taking into account other people’s needs as well as their own, giving them a true sense of community living.

SUNDAYS
We also have days to reflect and relax. On Sundays, everyone gets to sleep in for longer and we have a slow morning where campers are served pancakes to order by Senior Staff. We end the week with our traditional Council Fire, going back to the beginning of camp. Each alley gathers around the fire, reads thoughts about the theme of the week and sings calm beautiful songs.

SPECIAL DAYS
Every week we have at least one Special Day. These days are named for what they are: special! Usually with a theme in mind, a special day is a day of play. Where everyone, from Senior Staff to the youngest Sprite, gets dressed up and plays. There are hunts for monsters, wand making workshops, entire movie scenes recreated on the lake, time for kids to teach other kids in our Wacky Waukeela Workshops; everyone agrees to be a kid for the day!
