On weekdays, you'll wake up, have breakfast, clean up your cabin, and study the Bible Lesson before heading off to Morning Meeting, where the whole camp gathers to share ideas and discuss plans for that day. Then it's off to two hour-long activity periods (like swimming, waterskiing, or arts and crafts) before lunch and rest hour.
In the afternoon, you'll have two more activity periods, followed by a free period, where you have lots of different choices of what to do each day. Every night after dinner, there's an evening activity – which can be anything from a hymn sing to a counselor hunt to capture-the-flag. The day comes to a close as you circle up with your cabin mates to share gratitude, highlights, and daily acts of good before climbing into bed.
Saturdays are team-oriented, with everyone participating in a team project in the morning and in team games in the afternoon. On Saturday nights, we gather together for Newfound's weekly Campfire.
On Sundays, you'll get together with the boys from Owatonna for Sunday School in the morning, and then all have a big beach party – with bumper tubing, paddle boarding, and jumping off the rope swing – in the afternoon. Sundays end with cabin night, which is a favorite camp night where cabins do special activities together that could be baking cookies, playing a variety of games, going down the slip and slide, bumper tubing and making s’mores, or going on a scavenger hunt.
