Camp Programs and Activities

At Camp Hobé, campers have the opportunity to rediscover self-confidence and build meaningful friendships. Children of all ages make lifelong friends that understand the devastating effects of a frightening disease.

Programs
Camp Hobé currently offers three programs during the summer:

• A two-day Day Camp session for 4 to 7 year olds
• A five-day School Age Camp session for 6 to 12 year olds
• A five-day Teen Camp session for 12 to 19 year olds

Six and 7 year olds may attend either Day Camp or School Age Camp at the discretion of their parents and the camp staff members. Twelve year olds may choose whether to attend School Age Camp or Teen Camp based on their maturity and developmental level. School Age Camp runs one week, followed by the Day Camp and Teen Camp, which run simultaneously the week afterward. No programs or services are offered during the fall, winter, or spring.

Activities
During the camp sessions, campers may participate in a variety of activities, both with their cabin groups, as individuals, and with the entire camp:

• Archery
• Competitive and noncompetitive field games
• Crafts
• Creative writing
• Hikes
• Initiative games
• Mountain biking
• Nature awareness
• Swimming
• Theater games

Additional activities may be offered depending on availability, such as a climbing wall, creative dance, or soccer clinics. Program activities are structured to meet the developmental needs of specific age groups.

Hobé Forever is an optional “guided” activity offered during the camp session where campers have time to remember friends who are not present that year. This activity allows campers the opportunity to express feelings of grief and loss if they desire. Camp staff members respect any requests for further counseling or discussion.
