A DAY AT CAMP

Campers receive high-quality instruction in a wide variety of fun and challenging activities at Indian Acres Camp for boys. Under the guidance of the directors and head counselors of each camp, children curate their own special schedule that has been designed with their interests, age and ability in mind.

Junior campers are encouraged to try all activities. Intermediate campers elect activities they most enjoy from the many offerings provided. Senior campers may choose a daily schedule that provides greater focus on their favorite activities and those they wish to specialize in. The program remains flexible throughout the camping experience; the head counselor and program director are always available to assist and guide all campers in selecting the most appropriate activities for them.

Campers may choose both athletics or outdoor adventure such as tennis, soccer, archery, lacrosse, mountain biking, hiking, volleyball, and basketball. Boys can improve their skills in friendly intra-camp athletic events and can test those skills in competitions with other camps.

Activities also include a full arts and crafts program that encompasses ceramics, enameling, printmaking, drawing, painting, sculpture, and graphic arts. Also available are dance, yoga, photography, journalism, music, camp craft and nature studies.

For campers interested in the performing arts, Indian Acres offers music, chorus, singing, drama, show production, and annual theatrical performances.

Waterfront activities include swimming, fishing, canoeing, sailing, water-skiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding and kayaking. The camps also offer mountain biking, mountaineering, backpacking, and canoeing trips. Excursions to the picturesque Maine coast and the snow-capped White Mountains of New Hampshire are a part of the regular program.
