Windsor Mountain International Camp

Campers choose their activities through our “Directed Free-Choice” program. Every three days campers select their activities from a menu divided into four activity periods. Our creative and caring counselors guide campers in their selections, allowing for freedom to choose activities with staff support. Our program builds independence, fosters personal growth and teaches life-lessons campers will carry with them long after summer ends.

Daily Activities

Within the safe and supportive Windsor Mountain community, campers challenge themselves physically, emotionally, and intellectually. We have ample time to play and skill-build while enjoying music, arts, sports, theatre, ropes course, zip-line, rock-climbing, archery, farm and garden, sailing, swimming, wilderness adventure, environmental awareness, or community service. Swim instruction is our only required activity. We also offer specialty programs in sailing, visual arts, performing arts and film-making, as well as 3-day wilderness adventure trips.

But this list does not even begin to describe the unique and creative activities that our staff and campers create, such as “Questions of the Universe,” where campers examine interesting issues like whether time-travel is possible, or play a game of “Gatorball” (a sport invented at WMI), or help construct an obstacle course for our Labradoodle, Cody. Also, campers partner with counselors in activities that interest them, such as chess, fashion design or frisbee golf. The possibilities are endless!

Evening Activities

The evening brings a variety of fun activities and more opportunities to bond with friends and bunkmates. We have all-camp evening activities, “Big Living Unit” nights that allow our three living units to gather separately for specially-designed activities, and “Small Living Unit” nights, which bring individual bunks together for fun and friendship.

Activities include campfires (with music and stories), dances, talent shows, Capture the Flag, overnight camping with s’mores, “Battle of the Bands,” scavenger hunts, baking goodies in the kitchen, mattress sliding, night hikes, Hawaiian Luaus, and unique activities, such as Jabberwocky (don’t ask!), and lots more.
