Nights at Camp

Nights at camp...Besides the sounds of crickets and bullfrogs nights at CK-Minisink are filled with good times!! On Monday and Wednesday nights, we have what we call "Clubs". What that means is if there is an activity that you really like for example drama, then that is your time to sign up for it since you will be doing it for 2 nights. If you are into sports and we have an intercamp game coming up that you would like to participate in, then you would sign up for that sport during clubs. Each club period runs for 1 hour and 30 mins. On Tuesday night we have our "Village Night". A village night is planned and run by the Village Coordinator, the person who is in charge of the village. It might be something like a night swim, scavenger hunt, fashion show or obstacle course. These nights are super fun! On Thursday night we have our "All Camp Night". At the end of weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8 we have our camp dance. On the other Thursday nights we have activities such as campfires, a camp carnival and dance and/or drama performance. Then on Friday night our campers are home with their families telling everyone about their awesome week at camp!

Phone Calls...During the week our campers can call home up to 2 times during the week, M/W or T/TH. The calling nights will be selected for each bunk group and you will be notified of what they are before camp begins. Phone calls happen once we are back in villages after our evening program, usually around 8:15. On dance nights, phone calls start a little later.

Canteen...Our canteen is open at night for our older campers. It's a great time to spend with friends! If you are a camper entering the 7th or 8th grade then you will be able to go to our Canteen on Tuesday nights from 8:15pm - 9:30pm. If you are a camper entering the 9th or 10th grade then you will be able to go to our Canteen on Monday and Wednesday nights from 8:15pm - 10:00pm.

That is a quick rundown of our nights at camp. Nights at camp are special, especially when they are lit by a starry summer night's sky...
