camp wamp activities
At Camp Wamp, campers dive into a world of adventure with outdoor activities like fishing, canoeing, and singing by the campfire. They also enjoy hiking, making new friends, and tackling survival challenges. Plus, there’s so much more to explore!
Every session at Camp Wamp includes STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) experiences. Set in the great outdoors, our classroom invites professionals to weave STEAM into the week. It’s tailored to enhance problem-solving skills, taking into account the unique abilities of each camper.
Survival challenges at Camp Wamp are not just about learning; they promote teamwork, self-discovery, and setting goals. Being part of a team unlocks the thrill of High Sierra adventures. Our belief? Nature is the ultimate classroom. The more children engage with the outdoors, the deeper their appreciation for the natural world grows.
Camp Traditions
Years ago, the kids at Camp Wamp proudly dubbed themselves “Wampers.” Having their unique name brings immense joy and a sense of belonging to an exclusive club. As a new camper, you’re not just joining us for the summer; you become a Wamper for life!
Tradition is the heartbeat of Camp Wamp. Each year, campers hand down the essence of what makes our camp so special. It’s through our cherished customs that we forge a strong, unified Camp Wamp community. At its core, Camp Wamp is a blend of age-old traditions and sheer fun. Our own songs, “Warm Fuzzy” creations, chants, flags, and teams enrich our camp culture, passed down through generations. This continuity creates a one-of-a-kind community, where bonds are strong, friendships are genuine, and traditions deeply rooted. Together, we celebrate the unique contribution of every Wamper, fostering a sense of collective well-being.
Additionally, evening programs are the icing on the Camp Wamp experience, adding to the traditions that make returning each summer so memorable! Every session features a talent show, skit night, and the final night dance eagerly anticipated by campers year after year.
