Opening and Closing
Morning Openings and Afternoon Closing are special times at Camp Kum-Ba-Yah. Every morning, children, counselors, families, and friends begin each day together with songs and announcements.
In the afternoon, everyone joins together again at 3:00 p.m. for songs, skits, and our special closing Friendship Circle.
 Outdoor Cooking
Everyone works together to prepare and cook lunch over an open fire at
his or her campsite. Delicacies include stir fry, burritos, and camp stew. Teamwork gets the job done!
 Ecology
Ecology and the environment are meaningful for the Kum-Ba-Yah camper. Campers learn ways to respect and preserve their natural surroundings.
Campers learn to tread softly on the earth by being considerate of and caring for the world around
them.
Ropes & Initiative Courses
A special adventure for our senior campers! Campers learn confidence and teamwork skills while scaling a
34 foot climbing wall, Leaping for Life,
traversing the Postman's Walk, and zooming down the Zip Line!
Songs & Games
Campers and staff enjoy a multitude of songs and games throughout every day at camp.
Our games emphasize cooperation, team building, and fun, rather than competition. Everyone wins!
 Arts and Crafts
Campers have the opportunity to create many treasures--friendship bracelets,
leaf paintings, and tie-dyed shirts are just a sample. Emphasis is on
the creative process and using materials from the natural world.
 Aquatics
Campers receive swimming instruction each day and also enjoy free swim and water games such as the Whirlpool and Tidal Wave!
Pottery
Each camper has an opportunity to create his or her own ceramics project to take home
Special Treats
Each summer our campers enjoy many special treats--from tie dye or ice cream to magic shows and nature presentations!
