A love for the beach and water is a must for this camp as days are spent exploring and combing the shore for treasure . A new theme will be highlighted each week , such as :

• Animals of the Lake
Campers play games , go on treasure hunts , conduct experiments , and get creative with crafts , all reflecting the theme of the week .
