2008 Summer Program Schedule

This year, Camp Shaw is introducing some NEW programs, and bringing back some old FAVORITES!

 

Important Schedule Changes

Youth Camp 3 Added

Due to Popular Demand, we have added another 5-day Youth Camp during the week of August 4th - 8th.
Campers this week can register for either the Previously scheduled HORSE CAMP (which will focus on Horse activities) or YOUTH CAMP 3 (which will include all regular Youth Camp Activities). Please indicate the desired session on the registration form.

Can only attend camp in July, but Long Camp doesn't fit your schedule?

If you are unable to attend a camp in June, and "Long Camp" doesn't work either, You may split the Long Camp into two weeks, and register for either the first week or the second week individually.
The First week (Sun-Sat, July 20-26) will be priced the same as "Extreme Camp"
The Second Week (Sun-Thurs, July 27-31) will be priced the same as "Youth Camp"
On the registration form, mark "Long Camp", but indicate that you are only staying for Week 1 or Week 2. Space is limited.
