For first time campers, Camp Ton-A-Wandah is offering a one-week starter session as a beginning option to our traditional two and three week camp program.
This one-week program is designed especially for first-time campers ages 5-10 (rising K - 5th grade). This option is perfect for those new to the world of summer camps who want to "dip their toes before they dive in." The starter session offers a fantastic opportunity for your camper to experience the spirit of TAW and fully integrate into camp life alongside our two and three-week campers!
Limited to a small group of campers, your camper will receive a personalized introduction to our most popular and traditional camp activities: archery, canoeing, riflery, horseback riding, arts and crafts, land sports, rock climbing, swimming and more. Depending on her age, she will either follow a pre-set schedule or choose her own activities alongside her cabin mates. She'll also participate in our evening programs and be initiated into a team, preparing her for future camp experiences. This shorter session provides just the right amount of time to experience the magic of Ton-A-Wandah. And if she falls in love with camp and wants to stay longer, we can arrange for her to extend her stay!
Two Week Sessions (for first year campers or campers returning from Starter Session)
For first time campers or those returning from Starter session, Camp Ton-A-Wandah offers a two week session as a shorter option to our traditional three week camp program. In just two weeks, your camper will dive into the full Camp Ton-A-Wandah experience, exploring all that TAW has to offer. She'll be initiated into a team, participate in our unique Evening Programs and even enjoy out of camp trips. This session provides a comprehensive taste of camp life, giving her the chance to fully immerse herself in the adventure and camaraderie of TAW. Plus, if she's loving her time at camp, she'll have the option to stay for a third week!
Three Week Sessions (our traditional camp program)
Our traditional three-week session is designed to give your camper the full Ton-A-Wandah experience. Enrolling in this three-week session means she will have ample time to explore all that TAW has to offer, from daily activities to the deeper bonds of camp life. While the first two weeks introduce her to camp's diverse offerings, the final week is truly special, focusing on team unity and celebrating her growth. Signature events like Fire Games, Honor Assembly and Candlelight allow campers to showcase the skills they've honed, reflecting on their journey and embracing the cherished traditions that make TAW unforgettable. This final week encapsulates the spirit of TAW, leaving campers with lasting memories and a desire to "Return Once More".
Leaders In Training (LITs)
TAW offers an LIT program (formerly known as CIT), for rising junior and senior girls. A different program is offered each session which is always a combination of participating in traditional camp activities, focused leadership development, practicing camp counselor skills, and forming a strong bond within our leadership cabin. These different focuses include: Service in Ecuador, Camp Deep Dive, Adventure.
No matter if you are a long-time camper or new to Ton-A-Wandah, the LIT Program offers a fantastic opportunity for those interested in developing their skills as leaders and role models. What better way to do that than at camp with other open-minded individuals!
