Typical Day at Camp Jburg
Every day at camp is hardly the same, but we always follow a schedule! Here’s a sample of a classic camp day:
7:30
Rise & Shine! Get ready, brush your teeth…let’s head to the Dining Hall!
8:00
Breakfast starts at 8 o’clock sharp! Dig in!
8:45
It’s time for “For The Good of the Community” or FGC for short. This is a time we dedicate to minor maintenance needs, such as cabin cleanup! Most units also tidy a communal space too!
9:15
Ready, set, bible study! All of camp does bible study at the same time to ensure peace & quiet for all.
10:15
Morning Activity round one starts now. Campers all over camp are doing and experiencing different things, from ropes to archery, to nature exploration!
11:15
Morning Activity round 2 begins! Time to try something new…
12:30
Phew, Lunch time. Camp really enhances one’s appetite!
1:15
Time for some rest, we all head back to the cabins for “Feet on Bunk” or FOB. We’ll change at the end of this hour for swimming later!
2:15
Choice activity time. For campers who have a ‘choice’ they’ll pick a special interest to explore throughout the week. Popular choice activities include baking/cooking, boating & fishing, Scottish dance, music, and Tai Chi, just to name a few! If you’re in a specialty unit (i.e. M.A.D.Camp etc.) this time is usually dedicated to that specific subject. Some of our teen camps also have specialized schedules!
3:15
Afternoon Activities start, for our elementary campers we dedicate this time to developing their swim skills!
4:15
All camp swim! Your unit will either head to the pool or the lake for swim time. Non-swimmers can enjoy the canteen and outdoor games when at the pool!

Now we head back to the cabin to get into some comfy dry clothes for evening programs.

Last meal of the day, everyone’s favorite because: DESSERT!
