100 Outstanding Summer Camp Program Ideas

Camp programming can be difficult. Camp directors and program directors are stressed out from all the hats they wear at camp. It’s not easy to be creative, so we generally fall back on what we did the summer prior. New programming can be just the thing to freshen up a stale program. This book holds 100 ideas that have been tested and submitted by many camp professionals. These 100 program ideas were chosen because they are unique, creative and most can be done at either a day camp or resident (sleep-away) camp.
