7:30 Rise and Shine! Take a hot shower, get dressed and ready for…

8:30 Breakfast at the Lodge (Homesteaders cook your own breakfast over a wood fire). Typical breakfasts include: pancakes, french toast, cereal, fruit, breakfast burritos, milk and juice.

9:15 Head back to your cabin to clean up and get ready for the day’s activities. Homesteaders, you’ll also do chores like feeding the farm animals at this time.

10:00 Camps meet for “free choice”, where you will pick an activity you would like to participate in that morning. You can choose among three to five different activities that may include an arts and crafts project like candle making or building & painting a birdhouse, a sport like biking or frisbee, a lake activity like kayaking, fishing, swimming, outdoor educational activities like nature hikes, shelter building, or species identification, or time to prepare a skit or song for an evening campfire.

12:45 Everyone meets at the Lodge for lunch. Favorite lunches include turkey wraps, potato bar, grilled cheese and soup, fresh fruit, cottage cheese, and applesauce.

1:45 Rest Hour! Head back to your cabin with your counselor to hang out and read, write, play cards, or take a nap.

3:00 Meet by camp for your discovery, bag, or exploration. These are activities that will take place over several days so that longer projects can be completed or so more in-depth skills can be learned. Typical activities of this sort include rock climbing, pottery, horseback riding, target sports, leatherwork, outdoor survival skills, guerilla art, local union 303, and games of Milwaukee.

6:00 Dinner at the Lodge for everyone may include taco bar, homemade macaroni and cheese, homemade pizza, lasagna, or a full turkey dinner!

7:00 Meet by age group for your evening activity. Camp dances, tie-dying t-shirts, campfires, group initiatives, stargazing, midnight football, and capture the flag are just a few of the favorites.

9:00 Head back to your cabin with your counselor for letter writing, reading, chatting, telling stories, mail call, and lights out for Homestead.

10:00 Lights out for Saddle, Spruce and Outpost.

 

8:30 All camps eat breakfast together in the lodge.

9:00 While you eat, the four coordinators, dressed up as the Spice Girls, put on a world class concert performance for the entire camp. After breakfast campers divide into "Rock of the Ages Special Day" groups that consist of 8-10 campers of all ages, and counselors from different camps. All groups are given a particular song from a decade that you will perform on stage.

9:15 Your group will head to a quiet spot around camp to start learning the words to "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash, and plan a well choreographed routine to his famous song. Next, it's off to the costume closet to find just the right clothes for the performance.

12:30 Take a break from your singing career and enjoy a "sock hop" style lunch at the lodge consisting of burgers, fries, and milkshakes for all.

1:15 With a full stomach, head back to your cabin for a short rest hour before the big concert debut.

2:15 Meet with your special day group for one last practice before stage call.

2:30 Head to the tennis courts with your group and become part of the concert audience. Dance and sing along while the other acts perform such great hits as the Beatle's "Twist and Shout", the Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive" and the Archies "Sugar Sugar".

3:00 You're up! You and you're group head on stage and lip sync perfectly in tune with The Man in Black. Your performance is a hit…dancing through hoola hoops of fire and having a good 'ole time. Tired from your act, you take a break from the audience and grab yourself some cotton candy to munch on 'til the show's over.

5:00 When Naturita Dave, the "MC", stylishly dressed in 70's disco-wear, comes on stage you clap for your favorite act of the day. All acts receive shouts and screams…at this lip sync contest, everyone's a winner.

5:15 Return your costume clothes to the closet, wash off your face paint, and head to the lodge for another delicious home-made meal.
