Welcome to summer camp! What better way to get ready for an incredible new day than with a campy song?
![green star](/-/media/champions/landing-pages/great-outdoors/chp_champ-camp_green-star_50px.jpg?h=50&w=50&la=en&hash=EB14A893F4E55B03002693307A418A9D)
Let's kayak! Build a campfire! Go fishing! Explore nature! Fine-tune our survival skills! And waaaaaay more.
![green star](/-/media/champions/landing-pages/great-outdoors/chp_champ-camp_green-star_50px.jpg?h=50&w=50&la=en&hash=EB14A893F4E55B03002693307A418A9D)
It's time for the campers to lead their own adventure! We provide the activities, and they pick their passions—it's incredible to see what they can do on their own and in partnership with friends ...
![green star](/-/media/champions/landing-pages/great-outdoors/chp_champ-camp_green-star_50px.jpg?h=50&w=50&la=en&hash=EB14A893F4E55B03002693307A418A9D)
We’ll pause throughout the day for snacks and lunch (because even champions need breaks).
![green star](/-/media/champions/landing-pages/great-outdoors/chp_champ-camp_green-star_50px.jpg?h=50&w=50&la=en&hash=EB14A893F4E55B03002693307A418A9D)
Giddyup campers! It’s time to play. From sports, dancing, hiking, and swimming to yoga and group games, there’s no such thing as too much fun!
![green star](/-/media/champions/landing-pages/great-outdoors/chp_champ-camp_green-star_50px.jpg?h=50&w=50&la=en&hash=EB14A893F4E55B03002693307A418A9D)
Ready to get crafty? Our camp flag is our mission and our motto for the week. Campers take pride in creating the symbols and statements that reflect who they are. Just like campers, no two flags are the same!
![green star](/-/media/champions/landing-pages/great-outdoors/chp_champ-camp_green-star_50px.jpg?h=50&w=50&la=en&hash=EB14A893F4E55B03002693307A418A9D)
It’s so long, not goodbye! No one goes home without experiencing our beloved bead ceremony, some group time, and a little reflection to end the day on a high note.
