Camp Themes
All themes are general and will be suited to fit each age group accordingly. Camp activities listed are approximate.
Session 1: The Marinwood Summer Era
Summer is finally here, and we are embracing our summer camper era! We’ll make long lasting memories full of dodgeball, tag, friendship bracelets, camp sing-a-longs, and best of all, new camper and counselor friends. Highlights of the week include a blacklight dance party hosted by our favorite Mr. DJ Jerry and our favorite Counselor Lip Sync battle, so don your neon and glow-in-the-dark attire and bust some moves. Are you Ready For It?
Session 2: Magic, Mythos, and Mysteries
Step into a world of enchantment and intrigue! Campers will explore ancient myths, legendary creatures, and magical tales. They'll craft wands, design their own mythical beasts, and solve riddles to unlock hidden secrets. With treasure hunts, storytelling adventures, and spellbinding activities, this week is all about unleashing imagination and uncovering the mysteries of a fantastical world.
Session 3: Looking Fine at 249!
Wear as much red, white, and blue as possible to celebrate the 249th birthday of the U.S.A. with us this week! Get ready for many festive activities like flag decorating, games and relays, and star-spangled crafts! It all leads up to one of the best days of the summer, SPLASH DAY, where we zip down water slides, have water balloon battles and try to dunk the counselors! There might even be some apple pie.
Session 4: Under the Big Top
The infamous Camp Carnival is back and better than ever! Throughout the week campers will transform into carnival performers—learning how to juggle, how to beat the house at ring toss, how to get the biggest laugh with a joke, etc.—and showing off their skills under the “big top” on Thursday. This week will be full of games, prizes, challenges, plenty of clowning around, and non-stop entertainment.
Session 5: Around the World in 5 Days
Pack your bags for a global adventure! Campers will explore different countries and regions, exploring unique culture, traditions, and flavors. Along the way, they'll collect "passport stamps" and learn about the wonders of the world, fostering curiosity and a sense of connection across continents. It's a journey of a lifetime—all in just a week’s time!
Session 6: Superhero Showdown
Unleash your inner hero in this action-packed week! Campers will step into the world of superheroes, designing their own epic alter-egos, creating powerful gadgets, and mastering their "superpowers" through fun challenges. They'll face off in thrilling competitions, solve daring missions, and work together to defeat the ultimate villain. It’s a week of creativity, courage, and camaraderie, where everyone can be a hero!
Session 7: Time Travel Treasure Hunters
Embark on an exhilarating adventure across time and space! Campers will transform into daring treasure hunters, journeying to the past, present, and future to uncover hidden artifacts, solve ancient mysteries, and unlock the secrets of history. Along the way, they'll engage in exciting challenges, creative projects, and teamwork, discovering the thrill of exploration and the power of imagination. From dinosaur digs to futuristic quests, every moment is an unforgettable leap through time!
Session 8: Nature Unleashed
Explore the great outdoors, hike on scenic trails, go bug catching in the creek! Here, it is not just the wildlife that are the wild things. We can’t wait to explore all the habitats and wildlife we have on site. Older camps will hike the open space and younger camps will have the chance to find and identify animal tracks! Look out for BigFoot in the Enchanted Forest! Get ready to celebrate what Mother Nature is up to in our own wonderful backyard!
Session 9: GO BANANAS
This camp is BANANAS, B-A-N-A-N-A-S! Get ready to split in excitement for the last week of camp, bringing back all your favorite activities for one last hurrah! To end off an un-peel-lievable summer, enjoy a banana split-n-slide, bananas vs. hotdogs kickball game featuring your favorite counselors, and keep your eyes peeled at the camp-wide golden banana scavenger hunt!
