Archery behind the main building was always fun. I learned to shoot a rifle there because they had that awesome rifle range out in the field.

We had swimming first thing in the morning and it was always freezing. I remember being scared to death to swim out to that old wooden raft in the middle of the pond. I was trying to even locate it on a map and couldn't recall where in Hacekettstown it was, but finally found it. Pulled up Google and this conversation is literally the only result! I was a camper there in '85 & '86 I believe i was 9 & 10. No idea why I was thinking of Camp Tomahawk at work the other day. yesterday afternoon was sure a good one to do that! I think it builds so many qualities and friendships and I want her to have the opportunity to experience that. I am fortunate enough to be able to send my DD to camp each summer and will continue to do so as long as I can. I loved those 2 weeks and looked forward to all the outdoor and indoor activities that we had. I only had the chance to attend one 2 week session of day camp each Summer when I was a kid.

These would run for less than a full day, but would concentrate on the skills related to a specific sport. In addition to the standard day or overnight camps out there, there are a lot of children that attend sport specific camps or clinics as they are often called. Now it is a lot about making sure your children have the appropriate childcare coverage during the time that school is not in session. However, I do feel that the compelling reason to send your kids to camp has changed a bit from when I was a kid. There are tons of threads on this board on that subject alone - just search for summer camp and I am sure you will get lots of results. People still send their kids to camp to get out in the fresh air and to play and learn from other kids.
