The Program at Camp Poyntelle is exciting, fresh, diverse, and challenging. We create an environment where campers feel comfortable extending beyond their comfort zone and trying new things, while building skills in activities they already love. In doing so, they grow as a person, alongside great friends and nurturing staff. Each day is designed to offer a full experience for every child, challenging them with diverse events and solid instruction. Throughout the summer, children will be immersed in structured activities, elective-based programming, and special themed events. Whether they love sports, being creative, or swimming in our one-of-a-kind lake all day, Camp Poyntelle has it all!
Structured Daily Activities
Traveling camp by division, campers will take part in structured activities each day. During these 55-minute periods, we offer a mix of approximately 50% instruction followed by 50% play and have fun! The campers are learning and developing skills, while being able to have a great time playing and competing in sports, creating in one of our many art areas, or jumping around our waterpark! They travel around camp as a family…creating memories, building friendships, and learning how to play hard and grow as a person.
Electives
Campers have the ability to customize their daily experience by choosing electives in 3-day blocks. The options are a mix of core camp activities such as waterfront, sports, arts & crafts, or outdoor adventure. We also offer more unique choices such as Croc Jibbit making, Jewish cooking, STEM-inspired challenges, fishing, photography, and much more!
