Camp Nova daily schedule overview

Camp Nova

Camp Nova is designed for campers entering Grades 3–4 who are ready for more choice, bigger challenges, and a stronger sense of independence—while still benefiting from structure and support.

This is the age where campers really begin to find their voice. Camp Nova offers a balance of guided programming and choice-based activities that allow kids to explore their interests, build confidence, and take ownership of their camp experience.

Each week includes a mix of:

  • Games and outdoor play

  • Creative and hands-on activities

  • Team challenges and group projects

Choice Blocks

A signature feature of Camp Nova is choice block periods, where campers select from a menu of activities based on their interests. These blocks empower campers to:

  • Make decisions

  • Try new activities

  • Build confidence and responsibility

Choices vary by week and may include art, sports, STEM-style challenges, movement, and cooperative games.
