Each day at Camp Arrowhead follows a rhythm of adventure, growth, and connection. After getting ready with their cabin mates, campers gather at the Dining Hall to raise the flag and share a short morning reflection. Breakfast is served family-style, followed by Morning Moot — a burst of games, skits, and songs that kick off the day with laughter and energy.
Mornings are filled with three camper-chosen activities, allowing boys to explore new interests or sharpen favorite skills in areas like blacksmithing, woodworking, archery, and bushcraft. After a hearty lunch and Cabin Time for rest and relaxation, the afternoon begins with Special Choice Blocks — ever-changing opportunities to learn new games, prepare for upcoming events, or dive deeper into a craft or skill.
Then comes Open Adventure, one of the most anticipated parts of the day. During this time, boys have the freedom to roam responsibly, explore camp, and choose their own experiences — whether that means jumping in the lake, finishing a project in the shop, joining a spontaneous game, or setting off on a small outdoor challenge. Open Adventure gives campers independence, confidence, and a sense of ownership over their camp experience.
The community gathers again for dinner and the Evening Activity — a camp-wide game or event that brings everyone together before the bell rings. As night falls, boys return to their cabins to share stories, get ready for bed, and drift off dreaming of the next day’s adventures.
Weekends
When Saturday morning arrives, camp takes on a new energy — weekends at Arrowhead bring unique adventures and traditions that make the experience complete.

Saturday
While Saturdays at Arrowhead begin with the same delicious breakfast, Moot, and morning activities, the energy shifts at lunch — that’s when the theme for Arrowhead Adventures is revealed! After Cabin Time, campers dive into a series of games and challenges designed around that theme, working together to complete creative missions and adventurous objectives. It’s a day full of teamwork, imagination, and excitement.
After the fun, evenings slow down with time to relax and connect during a cookout dinner by the cabins — a perfect way to end the week surrounded by friends and the sounds of the mountains.
Sunday
Sundays at camp start a little differently — with extra sleep and a relaxed breakfast. Once cabins are tidied up, we gather for the first part of Sunday Service, where campers and counselors share songs, skits, and stories during a meaningful, non-denominational reflection on character and community.
The second part of Sunday Service focuses on giving back. Cabins work together on service projects that strengthen camp or help others — from building improvements around camp to creating care packages for local causes. Campers are encouraged to dream up their own projects, fostering creativity, responsibility, and leadership.
The rest of the day includes special sign-up activities and ends around the evening council fire, where we reflect, sing, and celebrate another week of growth and adventure at Camp Arrowhead.
