Camp Activities
Warm-Up
No this isn’t sports, or some weird PE thing. We like to start our day with fun, challenging games together like Woosh, Yes, and Boppity Bop Bop Bop (you don’t need to know the games beforehand!). The games help us relax, be loud, take risks, stop thinking, get to know each other and laugh. On the last night of camp, this is what the girls choose to do, and when they go home, this is one of the things they miss the most!
This is where you make a movie! This means finding a topic that you are passionate about, creating interview questions, shooting your film and being in a film (if you want to). You get to go home with your own movie!
Free Time
This is mail time – and your chance to load up on candy at the store, or your roommate’s care package. You can check out the campus, do crafts, play games, chill, or even enjoy your cell phone once in a while.
Fitness
Around four in the afternoon we like to lace-up our sneakers, blast some music, get into our bathing suit or grab our sticky mat. Each day there are choices that suit your mood, the weather and your feelings about sports in general. There is volleyball, swimming, yoga, soccer, basketball, tennis, our lake loop (walking or running), Frisbee, kick boxing and more.
Now we chill. We go out for pizza and the movies. We bead rings and bracelets, watch DVDs, and make masks; we love dance parties, beauty night, painting pottery, or walking down to the field to watch Fourth of July Fireworks. We go night swimming.
GLI Adventure
Every couple of days we get off-campus.
- High Ropes Course—We push our limits, face our fears, and feel really sore the next day. The High Ropes Course is “challenge by choice,” meaning you decide how high you want to go. With professional supervision, helmets and harnesses, the tasks are actually extremely safe.
- Beach Day—A day at the beach to do absolutely nothing. Bring your towel, your magazines and your Twizzlers. After an intense week of amazing workshops, the sun and water feel just right.
- Movie Night—A night to walk around town and see the latest film. Share your reviews on the walk home.
- Fourth of July—We all head to a big field, where we lay on our backs and watch the fireworks go off. This feels like summer.
- Extreme Day—We return to the high ropes course for an extreme adventure, like building rafts, zip-lines, the Giants Ladder, or crossing the river.
