General Daily Schedule At north star Camp for Boys

Good morning, Mr. Zip Zip Zip! The big bell in the center of camp rings out to tell us that it’s time to get up, brush your teeth, and get ready for breakfast!

all, All, ALL campers and staff gather around the flagpole before breakfast for morning announcements.

Our meals are served family style meaning food is brought to the table and passed around to each person. Campers sit with their counselors and cabinmates and talk about the day ahead or participate in village cheers with other cabins.

After breakfast, everyone goes back to their cabins and makes their bed, sweeps the floors, and tidies up their shelves. You don’t want to disappoint Inspector #26 when she comes around to grade cabin cleanliness later in the day!

Campers and counselors head back to the cabin to lay low for a little bit after lunch. Popular activities during this cabin time are playing card games, Rafter Ball, or writing letters home.

Everyone heads back to their cabin for a mid-afternoon break. This is a great time to catch up with friends about how their day has been, figure out where to go for Organized Free. We end the time with a healthy snack – usually some fruit.

Fourth Period varies each day – it may be a Village Activity (activities that entire age groups do together like a massive game of dodgeball), Challenge Games (where one cabin challenges another to an activity or sport), or one of our many Green / White competitions.

At lunch, our Program Director will announce activities that will be open during Fifth Period. Campers can choose which activity to attend, and our staff help lead the final structured activity period for the day.

Our final program period of the day may be an all-camp game like Capture the Flag, North Star Ball, Glenn’s Game, or Predators vs. Prey. Or it could be a campfire, staff skit show, or open mic night. No matter what it is, the day is going to end on a high note!

Time to head back to the cabin and get ready for bed. It’s a good time to take a quick shower and brush your teeth.

Lights out times vary by age group. Counselors put the campers to bed by reading a book or telling a story.
