Your child participated in an orientation tour at which time they learned everything about Burn Brae and received a laminated schedule card. After orientation, we went through our full schedule of camp activities. What a busy first day!

Our first regular day! We went through our full schedule and had a fabulous time learning about our majors and minors. Our Pre-Major campers were all smiles as they traveled from one exciting activity to another.

It was a beautiful day at Burn Brae! Everyone loved seeing their old friends and meeting new ones!

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, we're learning and swimming-camp is so much fun! During lunch, camp is providing refreshing fruit including grapes, oranges, watermelon, honeydews, cantaloupes and more for our campers' good nutrition. We do this every day!

We had Staff Showtime for our campers and it was awesome! What talented counselors we have teaching our campers. We also had a fun DJ Dance Party and Picture Day. What a great first week!
