What campers do
At Red Barn, campers explore the outdoors, build practical skills and try new challenges with their group. Activities include climbing, canoeing, swimming, archery, woodworking, nature exploration and field games.
Campers return to activity areas throughout the week and summer, building on what they have learned. As they get older, they gain more choice in their daily schedule.
