We have 49 unique camp days, no 2 are the same.
We have 14 groups, 7 girls groups and 7 boys groups. Our typical Monday through Saturday program day begins at reveille at 7:45 AM and concludes after evening activity at 8:00 PM. We also have many “Late Night” activities for our older campers as well. Schedules are produced weekly and based on camper input. This daily “sample” schedule below does not include Trip Days, Inter-Camp Competitions or the many camp wide Special Events that take place throughout the summer.
Sundays at Birchmont are called Option Sunday
Option Sundays are a cherished tradition at Birchmont. We get to sleep-in and, after breakfast, we come together as a community to reflect on our camp values and celebrate the week’s successes and achievements. After that, campers enjoy a day filled with free play and our famous special events which include both hallowed camp traditions and outside entertainment alike. Some examples include DJ Socials, a Traveling Zoo, Sunday Brunch, The Talent Show, The Color Run, Checkers & Chess Tournament, Bagel Sunday, and the ever popular Mid-Summer Event!
