Activities
Trading Post
During their time at camp, your camper will be able to visit Trading Post, our camp store. Trading post has many items such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, water bottles, stickers, hats, mugs, and flashlights. A store deposit of $25-50 is recommended for each week your camper is here. Refunds are issued to campers with $10.00 or more remaining in their account and are made in the fall. Please do not send your campers with cash. We do not want them to lose it. Instead you can stop in the office to fund their trading post account or you can log in to your account, click on view trading post, fund! It’s easy!
Activities
When campers arrive at Camp Jorn, they will have the chance to sign up individually for the class activities they will participate in during the week. Here they will develop new skills and make new friends outside of their cabin. Most campers will rotate through 3 class activities each morning. If your camper is signed up for a specialty class or camp, this is the time they will participate in that activity, as well as the other activities available. Below is a list of potential choices for your camper. Our staff members also develop new classes throughout the summer.
Campers also participate in cabin activities each afternoon. The campers decide as a cabin group what activities they would like to do during their session.
Each night, all camper groups gather in the amphitheater for our Evening Campfire. During this time we sing songs, share performances, and play an all-camp game or activity.
After Campfire, campers retreat to their cabins for an evening of reflection called Today Talks. Counselors lead campers to reflect on their day, their week, and their lives through discussion about our core values like caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and personal growth.
