GREEN & BOLDED Activities were not offered as class options last season. CLASS SIZES
The number of participants for each activity has been carefully crafted to ensure that campers are safe, have fun, receive adequate attention from instructors, and make the best use of available materials. When an activity is fully registered with campers, new registrants will be placed on a waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis. Overloading a class will be rare and based on input from the instructor & PSR Camp administrators. Previous decisions to overload a class (during a former season) will have no effect on future decisions to overload the activity. |

ACTIVITY CATEGORIES
1) Base Camp Rotations: During our Combo Camp sessions you'll have the option of choosing 'junior or tween camp rotations' as the primary activity. If you choose this option during registration your camper is going to try our various camp activities every day during four 1-hour segments. Monday - Thursday Rotation #1: 10:30 - 11:30 am Rotation #2: 11:40 - 12:40 pm Rotation #3: 3:00 - 4:00 pm Rotation #4: 4:10 - 5:10 pm PSR Camp creates a schedule of rotations, to ensure that children get to try as many different activities as possible. If you're planning to attend during a Cub or Discovery session than 'rotations' are the only available option. 2) Morning Specialty Activity + Afternoon Rotations: If you choose a morning activity (i.e. Junior Chef, Lego Robotics, Swimming Lessons, etc...), your camper is going to go to the same class every morning for two hours, and then try other activities in the afternoon with their cabin mates.

PSR Camp: Rotations
PSR Camp divides the activity schedule into four, 1-hour activity periods (Mon-Thurs) during the first two sessions of camp. Children who choose '...Camp Rotations' as their primary activity will rotate through the activities listed below during those four periods. All of the activities are offered at the most basic level to increase the participation level and enjoyment for all of our campers. Some campers may get to try an activity more than once and have the opportunity to build a little more skill in that area.
ArcheryCampers will learn about bows, arrows, and the rules of the range. Once they've passed a simple safety test, they'll be allowed to take aim and try to hit a target that is about 20 ft away.
|
Arts & CraftsPSR Camp offers a few different crafts to make during base camp rotations like lanyard braiding, animal masks, painting, paper bag puppets, etc. Each is simple and fun to create!
|
Basic BakingCampers will learn some of the basics about baking, demonstrate understanding, and then (hopefully) enjoy some cookies together that they've made during the class.
|
Climbing WallThe climbing wall is probably the most advanced activity we offer during base camp rotations. Campers will have the opportunity to climb a wooden wall while being safely belayed.
|
Drama GamesAt PSR Camp we meet campers who are shy and others who are very outgoing. Drama games is a fun way for children to act silly and develop some interpersonal skills. It's one of our most popular rotations!

NatureAt PSR Camp we're surrounded by nature, and the Berglund Nature Center is where we have all of our displays about the animals and life all around us. Your camper might learn something new during this rotation.
|
Obstacle CourseHow quickly can you navigate the PSR Camp obstacle course? It's a simple, outdoor course that our counselors set up every day to challenge our campers in a game of outdoor athletics. Campers will have the opportunity to add their name to the leaderboard during this rotation.
|
SportsBasketball, hockey, and even horseshoes are just a few of the activities that are available during this rotation. If sports really isn't your thing, we're still providing shade, chalk, and some other fun activities for children who come and visit us down in the parking lot during the sports rotation.
|
SwimmingSummer camp wouldn't be complete without a dip in the camp pool. Swimming is often one of our most popular afternoon activities when the sun is out and campers just need to get their energy going after a great lunch. (This is a 2-hour rotation)
