Recreation

Participate in many activities during your week at camp!

Playing Chinese cricket on the ball field

Each week the SBL staff works hard to provide a range of activities for the camper to enjoy. The sports and activities offered can change due to the ages of campers and the staff members working each week. Some recreation is required (such as during sports and guided activity time), but there is also free time when campers have the option to participate in games or lake activities, walk around camp, or just enjoy time with friends.

Team Sports
