2025 Camp Blue Bay CAMP AND OUTDOOR GUIDE
Build skills. Create memories. Make new friends.
Welcome to CampBlueBay
Dear future camper,
If you’re thinking about going to camp, just do it! I have an amazing time at Camp Blue Bay every year!! I remember being so scared to leave home my first year, but as soon as I got to camp I realized I was going to have an awesome time.
One thing I love about camp is that everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I also love eating dinner after a long day of fun and talking with my friends about our favorite meals. Personally, my favorite is burritos!
Another amazing thing about camp are all the fun activities we get to try. From kayaking in the creek to arts and crafts in the activity building, then to cooling off in the bay—there’s always something fun to do!
Camp Blue Bay is the type of place where you can be yourself, try new things, learn lifelong skills, and make friendships that will last forever. I hope to see you this summer!!
From, Willow Girl Scout Camper
P.S. Make sure to bring envelopes and stamps so you can write home and tell everyone about all the fun you are having!!

Benefits of Summer Camp Camp Blue Bay Summer Camp Traditions
l Golden Dustpan: This is a weekly camp-wide competition where each camper unit is inspected daily for cleanliness. At the end of each session, one unit wins the Golden Dustpan Award for being the cleanest of them all!
l Final Campfire: At the end of each session, campers and staff gather on the beach for a final campfire. Each unit will get to choose a campfire song that they’ll want to sing and learn throughout the week and then share at the final campfire.
If you’re a former camper, you know firsthand the positive effects of the camp experience. However, if you’ve never had the opportunity to attend camp as a child, you may be wondering exactly what the benefits of camping are, and what your child will gain from the experience. Here are the top ten most important reasons to send your child to camp
At camp, children:
l Make true friends
l Explore nature
l Learn social skills
l Enjoy free time
l Gain independence
l Develop lifelong skills
l Unplug from technology
l Experience success
l Spend their day being physically active
l Gain resiliency
l Theme Night: Every Friday night, we have a themed dinner! Campers make costumes from materials provided during the day. The Dining Hall is decorated, and we listen to music during the meal.
l Kapers/Hopping: While at camp, campers learn to be part of a community and take responsibility. Each unit is assigned a daily chore at camp called “Kapers.” They include a litter hike, articipating in our flag ceremony, keeping camp clean, and
We think one of the biggest takeaways from a summer camp experience is the chance for campers to build resilience— which is needed now more than ever. Resilience is learned and developed from facing setbacks and challenges that campers face in nature. Having the tools to learn from these challenges is essential in gaining character, confidence, and courage.
