Camp Quien Sabe Youth Overnight Camp
The Regular Program, for younger children entering 2nd grade through 11 years, is a closely supervised program devoted to teaching
children basic camping skills and an appreciation for the great outdoors. Regular campers spend a week sleeping outside under the stars and
learning to live in a natural setting without altering or damaging the environment. A variety of outdoor activities including swimming, hiking,
boating, crafts, cooking, games, nature lore and campfires make this an exciting and memorable week for all that attend.
The Environmental Team (ET) Program is dedicated to the young pre-teen of 12 years. "ETs" participate in regular camping activities as well
as special activities aimed at developing an understanding of environmental concerns.
The Work Experience (WE) Program, for ages 13 to 15 years, combines the fun of camping with the age appropriate task of learning job
related skills such as time management and teamwork. In addition to regular camp activities, "WEs" are given weekly projects to complete
together.
