Get ready for an action packed day!

Here at Kennolyn we know how to have fun, and our activity schedule is designed to give you the kind of camp experience you want most!

Our day starts with the sound of the bell at 7:15 a.m. Morning routine includes a hot breakfast in the dining hall with the cabin group, and time to clean the cabin as a group and get ready for the day's activities. There are three scheduled activity days each week. Campers have over 30 activities from which to choose. Each camper has six one-hour activity periods every activity day and campers stay with their scheduled activities all session. The activity day is broken up by lunch and rest period. Campers meet up with their counselor outside the dining hall for the second hearty meal of the day, and then head to the cabin as a group for some quiet time, which may be spent reading, writing letters, drawing, playing quiet games, or napping. After afternoon activities, campers have dinner with their cabin groups, and Family Hour, which is a block of time to be spent doing a special activity chosen by the cabin group. Common Family Hour pastimes are crafts, basketball or volleyball against another cabin, checking out board games from the store, and of course the swimming pool is always a popular destination.

To offset the busy activity days, we have off-site trips and special activity days, the most popular of which is Outpost. All cabin groups spend 24 hours in the woods each week, sleeping out under the stars and cooking their own meals over an open campfire. Many cabin groups go for hikes or spend the day building all kinds of exciting creations at their outpost site.

One morning each week is FREE CHOICE where campers can try activities they don't normally do or go back to do more of their favorite ones! On these days, afternoons are filled with other activities, such as the Boardwalk, Water Carnival, or Friday Fun-Day.


Each evening, special activities are planned for the entire camp. Twice a week we hold an all-camp campfire where we sing songs and cabins perform skits around the campfire. On other evenings, we schedule exciting activities such as a scavenger hunt, trivia night, and a dance/movie night. Bedtime is signaled by bugle calls. The first bugle plays at 8:30 to notify cabin groups that it is time to head back to the cabins. The 8:45 bugle means that it's time to start getting into bed. 9:00 is "Lights Out" for most campers. Senior Campers (8-9th graders) have a special nightly evening activity from 8:30 - 9:00 and start heading to bed when the activity is over.


Once each session we enjoy Beach Day. We dress in our Kennolyn T-shirts and have a leisurely breakfast followed by Sunday Inspirational - a reflective presentation on topics such as friendship, the environment, community, etc. After a relaxing morning we all get into our red or yellow swimsuits, go to the beach in chartered busses, roast hot dogs, swim in the surf, build sand castles, take hikes to the tidepools and relax in the sand. This is also "Nurse's Inspection Day", camp area cleanup day, and letter-writing day. A letter or postcard home is admission to Sunday dinner.

Our one-week sessions are a taste of camp life and are a modified version of the above schedule. One-week sessions include three or four activity days, one outpost day, and a trip to either the beach or the Boardwalk.
