What happens each week at Hawk Ridge?

In addition to adventures and activities based on the week’s theme, arts and crafts, fitness and games, sports, nature, and field trips are incorporated. In addition to dress-up days, every Wednesday is Wow Wednesday, and Fridays are Fun Fridays, with a special, engaging activity. No camper will want to miss these special days!

What’s new and exciting at Hawk Ridge?

Back by popular demand, we have incorporated a dramatic arts component into our camp curriculum. Beginning the first week, campers will journey through the play process from start to finish and perform two plays throughout the summer. It’s off-Broadway at its finest!

Our Snack Shack, a summer favorite, has expanded its offerings to include an impressive lunch menu from a variety of popular local restaurants ... all prepared to order! Mornings and afternoons, the Snack Shack is open for snacks and the ever popular frozen treats on Freeze Fridays.
