A Typical Day at Camp Farley Girl with baby goat

The daily program typically consists of five activities. The first three activities are predetermined to provide a well-balanced variety of experiences throughout the week. Primary activities include a daily free swim along with a combination of arts, recreation, and nature programs throughout the week. Depending on their age, campers also enjoy at least one archery, canoeing, and barnyard activity as part of this weekly formula. Songs, skits, and announcements are often integrated during transitional periods between activities and during snack times.

Each day, campers also have the opportunity to choose two elective activities. Activities offered during the first elective include instructional swimming, archery, canoeing, barnyard animals, creative arts, recreation, fishing, dance, theater, and other activities too numerous to list. The last elective offered during the day is limited to an arts, recreation, or free swim activity.
