Afternoon and Evening Activities

Waterfront Activities

All the summertime favorites: swimming, rowing, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, fishing, and sunbathing. Life guard on duty 1pm to 5pm, and 7pm - 8pm.

Leisure Time

Afternoons are unscheduled to allow time for reading in the shade, playing volleyball, chess tournaments, rocketry, impromptu soccer matches, hiking, sports, napping, or getting creative at the Bayside arts and crafts table. Or visit the nearby observatory, farm, or golf course. Wesley Woods provides a wide array of game equipment for checkout and has designed Nature Hikes for all ages.

Optional Afternoon Activities

Optional (fee) activities, provided by other camps or local entrepreneurs, include a Sailboard Clinic, a guided Lakeside Hike, Historical Cruise of Lake Geneva, Yerkes Observatory Tour, tubing, and Parasailing. These will be organized on-site. Speak with the registrar as you check in on Sunday.

Intergenerational Games and Vespers

After supper we enjoy an hour of organized fun and games for all ages, followed by vespers.

Teen Activity and Games

While children under 12 are expected to be in their rooms or with a parent after 9pm, older youth usually stay up for euchre, table tennis, and hanging out on the dock.
