4-H Camp & Learning Centers at Tanglewood & Blueberry Cove

Daily schedule - Electives and activities

Choices, choices, choices! Each day has different activities, so there’s always plenty of new things to try.

Each day there are usually 2 or 3 afternoon activity periods (we call them electives), when you get to pick what you would like to do! For each elective period there are about 10 different activities to choose from. The best bit about electives is that because your counselors choose what activities they offer, if you have a great activity idea you can request things!

Because every day different activities are offered, it’s hard to say exactly what will happen during your time at camp. We try to make sure that each period has a good variety of activities, so everyone can find something they like. Whether you’re interested in being learning new skills, playing big games, being arty, relaxing or exploring the forest, pond and river we hope to have something for you.
