Ijams Nature Adventure Camps are anything but your ordinary, run-of-the-mill day camps. At Ijams, we make every effort to ensure that campers end each day worn out, dirty, and excited to do it all over again the next day. And, we take pride in the fact that campers often experience the magic and activities typically associated with overnight camps, but at half the cost and with all of the conveniences of a local daycare. Alongside traditional activities like canoeing, camp-wide competitions, and silly songs, our campers experience the transformative and bonding power of outdoor adventures and nature exploration, igniting a lifelong passion for learning and being active.

During Ijams Preschool Summer Camps (ages 3-5), campers hit the trail early in their lives to develop basic skills, knowledge, and comfort in the outdoors. Ijams Nature Adventure Camps (ages 6-12) expand on these foundations over time through increasingly challenging content and activities, which now include high-ropes course experiences with Navitat Canopy Adventures and caving during select sessions. During campers’ journeys through Ijams’ camps, our experienced staff members support and inspire campers to push their comfort zones, build new friendships, and foster resilient spirits.

Summer Fun, Lifetime Memories, Eternal Values

YMCA Camp Ocoee excels in providing a quality traditional, overnight camping experience. Ranger camp is the flagship program established by Glen Ellis in 1923. In our long history, we have balanced tradition with the interests of today’s campers by offering fun, exciting and safe activities. In ranger camp, each camper participates in a series of both land and water activities within the protection of the camp’s setting. Here, campers choose from a long list of activities to focus on each morning, while spending the afternoons experiencing the camp activities as a cabin group.

One-week sessions for boys and girls ages 7- 16. 4:1 camper to staff ratio. Strong Christian environment. Activities include paintball, whitewater rafting, kayaking, climbing, standup paddleboards, mtn. biking, camp-outs and many more.

Our purpose is to provide experiences, under a strong Christian emphasis, that will strengthen the spirit, mind, and body of all participants.

Getting every girl outdoors to learn new skills and make new friends

There’s more to Girl Scouts than cookies! Since 1912, Girl Scouts has been a driving force in introducing girls to the outdoors, building courage, confidence, and character along the way. It’s because of this legacy that Girl Scouts of the Southern Appalachians offers summer camp programming for rising 1st-12th graders at Camp Tanasi and is open June 20-July 30, 2021.

Camp Tanasi, perched on scenic Norris Lake in Andersonville, TN, is 461 acres of beautiful, wooded property with cabins and tents, a dining hall, a waterfront program area, pool, archery, hiking trails, climbing tower, and a challenge course.

Attending summer camp is a great way to build new skills, make new friends, and develop a deep appreciation for nature. No matter their age nor how long they stay, camp gives girls the opportunity to grow, explore, and have fun. Girls can sign up for Themed Weeks that cater to their interests, or they can join a Camp Discovery program and get the traditional camp experience. There are also three-day Camper Sampler programs for girls who want to spend a shorter time at camp.

At Girl Scout resident camp, work towards earning badges, all while building independence and resiliency. Camp might look a little different in 2021 but we’re determined to ensure that our Girl Scouts have access to exciting, fun, and safe outdoor experiences which they need now more than ever! Prices range from $325-$600 for Girl Scout members; for $425-$700 for non-members.

Spots are available in the following programs:

• Week 1- Camp Discovery 6th-8th grade
• Week 2- Build like a GIRL 1st-3rd grade

Have you ever dreamed of being on stage? Or maybe you just want to learn how to be comfortable speaking in front of people? This is the camp for you! During theater camp we will play fun theater games and learn easy techniques for increasing your comfort while public speaking and acting. We will take time to learn about plants and animals that live at the garden throughout the week as well. Could you imagine a more fun combination: theater and the garden? We can’t either, so join us for a great week of camp!
