Camp Zone, the curriculum starts with basic instruction in the art of sound as well as learning about all the entertainment components needed to run a party including lighting, interactive dances and games, and other skills. This is a hands-on minor with plenty of exposure to mixing music and talking on the microphone.
In Nature Studies, each camper may adopt a tree and learns to care for the

Crafts, games and science experiments are also part of this activity.
