Week 2
This is really the beginning of camp, you start your activities, and your cabin teamwork builds.(There is non-religious chapel every week that include morals, values, and readings).

Week 3
Dads Weekend is when the campers' dads (or in Chimney moms) come to camp to spend a weekend with their sons. This is a great experience for moms and dads who share a tent and activities with their sons. This is the highlight of the session for many kids.

Week 4
The End of camp there is the Big Show (a play), Candelight (a ceremony reflecting on camp where every camper is given a candle) and there is final banquet, the last dinner of camp where a specialty meal is always served.
