BIG TIME

Camp is about a lot of things. We make decisions based on what we want to do, and resolve conflict when it occurs. However, we mostly just try to have fun. Playing night games, dressing up as crazy characters, and throwing our favorite counselor in the lake.

But what if we took all of that one step further? 

Introducing BIG TIME, a program that allows teens to grow in the space they want, build authentic friendships, and learn a little about themselves along the way. The goal of these two weeks is to push you outside of your comfort zone, and experience new ideas, games, and obstacles. Each individual that participates will create honest connection with other people, and see how fast camp can give you 20 new best friends. 

You won’t lose all of the normal day to day at Stomping Ground, but we want to offer an option that pushes you to be the best version of yourself. You will participate in self reflection, team building activities, and even lead some options yourself. Come experience two weeks at camp like you never have before.  

CIT - COUNSELORS IN TRAINING

The CIT program is an intensive and highly engaged two week session. Each CIT (Counselor in Training) will learn what it means to be a counselor and participate in several workshops designed for Stomping Ground staff. While you will without question bond with people in your session, the primary objective is for you to give back to the campers. Instead of just participating, you will be facilitating games, activities, debriefs, and more. We want our CIT’s to learn how to initiate meaningful relationships with campers. The program will build on characteristics needed to do this such as creativity, connection, and leadership. 

Even if being a Stomping Ground counselor isn’t for you, this program will build on all of the necessary traits and skills needed to succeed as a youth development professional. You will learn how best to help the little ones find their clothes before bed. You will hear about how to provide empathy late at night when someone gets homesick. Most importantly, you’ll learn what it is like to create magic moments at camp. 

ArtsFest

ArtsFest is about creating, connecting, and collaborating. It's for teenagers looking for space to be themselves, make art, and forge new friendships. It's for beginners and experts practicing various art forms, trying new things, and honing their craft. From artist lectures to funky puppet shows, ArtsFest is both serious and whimsical. There are guitar classes, painting seminars, artist lectures, giant projects, cardboard creation, jewelry making, slam poetry sessions, and so much more, but the magic of ArtsFest is that it's all up to you. During ArtsFest, campers will have the opportunity to deep dive into the artistic pursuit of their choice, or try a new skill every day with our Artists In Residence.  ArtsFest is a festival celebrating choice, connection, and creation, the day is what you make it.
