Program
A typical day at Camp CaHiTo begins with all Campers gathering at their assigned Camp Sites. The Campers will be divided into small groups based on their age, and they will spend their entire session with the same counselor and peer group. This group-centered approach allows children to experience a sense of belonging, make new friends, and connect with their counselors.
The Specialty Programs at Camp CaHiTo include a minimum of 1.5 - 2 hours a day of programming specific to each specialty. In addition, the Campers will participate in age-appropriate traditional camp activities such as games, hikes, and more, which are chosen by their counselors to fit the theme of the week and the interests of the group. These activities include Archery, Hiking, Low Ropes, Swimming, Art and Crafts, Fort Building, Organized Games and more.
We would like to invite you and your child to one of our upcoming Meet & Greets to learn more about Camp CaHiTo.
For Campers 6-10 years old.
Learn how to shoot a bow and arrow properly with Certified Archery Specialists. We will shoot at our Standard Course and Lower Field Archery Course to perfect all our learned skills. Campers will be taught all the techniques, and all equipment will be included for use.
Although it is a Speciality Camp, campers also will get to do all of the other awesome activities CaHiTo has to offer, including hiking, arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, organized games, climbing wall (allowing that the Camper is 8 and up at the start of the program) and much more.
