Schedule

Every day campers attend their set schedule of activities/classes. These activities are chosen before camp begins from options in theater, dance, music, visual art, filmmaking and writing.

Campers take the same five activities each day for the full camp session. They can choose activities within the same discipline or a variety of disciplines. It’s up to them!

Sample Daily Activity Schedule and Descriptions

Activity Selection

Campers will rank their activity choices. Activities are not assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. We do our best to give as many campers as many of their first choices as possible. Campers receive their schedules on the first day of camp.

Small Groups

Each camper belongs to a small group much like a homeroom. This group eats lunch together, sits together at the Noontime Show and begins and ends the day together. Friends can request to be in the same small group. Small groups are of campers of a similar age/grade.

Daily Noontime Show

There is a show every day at Camp Arena Stage with the most supportive audience ever. Campers can sign up as individuals or with others to share art of all kinds! Campers sing, dance, perform skits and scenes, play instruments, hula-hoop, read poetry and stories, show soccer skills, display visual art, cartwheel and more. Classes also perform during this time.

Choice

An opportunity to break up the day, during the Choice period campers participate in recreational activities. Activities may include Ultimate Frisbee, a craft project, board games, improv games, sidewalk chalk, open mic, friendship bracelets, design challenges, relay races and many more.
