This schedule is a good look at what a typical day looks like at camp. After getting ready for the day with their cabin mates, everybody heads towards the Dining Hall to watch the flag being raised and gather for a short reflection. Breakfast is served family style in the dining hall and followed by Morning Moot- a combination of quick games, silly skits, and songs.
Boys get to choose three activities to participate in every morning. Campers can change activities each week to try new things or hone in on their favorites. After Morning Activities comes a chance to refuel and connect at lunch. Rest Hour allows some downtime in the fun-filled camp day.
Afternoons are for Special Choice Blocks – these are a little different every day, catering to our campers’ interests and desires and might include learning a new game, working on activity progressions, or preparing for an upcoming trip or event. Next is Free Swim and Free Time where boys can enjoy the lake, play games in the Dining Hall, and just spend time relaxing with their friends.
Everyone catches up over dinner back in the Dining Hall and gets ready for Evening Activity – a daily special event or game that involves everyone at camp. Before you know it, the bell is ringing and boys are back in their cabins to chat about their days, get ready for bed, and dream of their next adventures.
Weekends
Weekends at Camp Arrowhead provide unique opportunities to campers that don’t normally happen during the weekly schedule.
Light Sabers- an essential part of Space Marine training.
Saturday
While Saturdays at Arrowhead begin with the same delicious breakfast, Moot, and morning activities, things start to change at lunch. At lunch a theme is announced for Arrowhead Adventures! After rest hour, campers participate in a series of games and challenges in order to accomplish whatever the mission has been set forth for them. After such a fun day, campers are able to spend time relaxing and bonding with their cabins with a cookout dinner.
Sunday
Sundays at camp start a little differently with sleeping in and a relaxed breakfast buffet. After making sure our cabins are all in order, we begin the first part of our Sunday Service. Campers and counselors work together to present songs, skits, and meaningful stories in a non-denominational service.
Next comes the second part of Sunday Service, where cabins work together to complete service projects of their choice. These may include things that help boys take ownership and pride in a part of camp - like building something to improve their favorite activity area – or something that extends into the larger community – like making blankets for the NICU. We keep a list of ideas, and cabins are always welcome to dream up their own projects too.
The rest of the day includes special sign-up activities and an evening council fire.
