Counselor in Training – This event is specifically designed for campers too old to be Lakewood campers, but too young to be in the cabins as a counselor. CITs will spend their days with their cabin group, watching and learning from lead counselors on how to invest and care for campers while getting practical hands on experience. They also get all the fun of camp, participating in all activities and a few special events just for them. CITs also practice leadership by serving alongside the staff doing dishes 1-2 times a day.

Daily Schedule
Activities
Twin Zip Lines
Camp Lakewood, Pine Creek Camp
Strap in for the ride of your life. The race starts when you and your friend slide off the tower and zip across the field below. Whoever gets to the bottom first is the winner!
Lakeside Activities
Camp Lakewood, Camp Adventure, Epworth Forest
Fun onshore and in the water! Enjoy kayaking with friends, lounging on the beach, swimming out to the aqua-rocker, a water obstacle course, and more. Whatever floats your boat. There’s a lakefront activity for everyone.
Giant Swing
Camp Lakewood, Camp Indicoso, Pine Creek Camp, Epworth Forest
Soar through the air on our giant swing for two. Our experienced team members will safely strap you in and pull the swing back as far as it can go. Before you know it, you’ll be swinging through the air on a thrill ride you won’t forget.
Archery
Camp Rivervale, Camp Lakewood, Camp Moneto, Camp Indicoso
Bullseye! See how close you can get to the center of the target at the archery range! Learn how to safely string, nock, aim, and loose an arrow. Keep trying and see how much you improve over the course of camp.
Low Ropes
Camp Indicoso, Camp Adventure, Camp Rivervale, Camp Moneto
See what you and a teammate can achieve on our low ropes course. Learn to lean on each other to cross bridges and cheer on your teammate as they navigate obstacles. Try it with someone new and see how much you accomplish!
Climbing Wall
Camp Rivervale, Camp Lakewood, Pine Creek Camp, Camp Moneto
Belay on! Buckle into a harness and climb as high as you dare while our experienced crew guides you from below. When you get to the top, let go and glide to the ground. Is height not your thing? Try our lower, no-harness bouldering wall for a fun climbing experience.
Boating
Camp Lakewood
For our younger crowd (k-2) we take our time on the lake admiring creation and spotting the creatures of the sky and water. For the 3-6 crew, things get ramped up with a fantastic time tubing with friends!
