OSC is located at a community park next to a wilderness preserve, and we are outdoors all day. We spend much of our day hiking, eating under trees, and swimming at the pool. We have many shaded areas at camp, and groups are typically in the shade for stationary activities (e.g., lunch, crafts, sitting games). We provide sunscreen and plenty of water, and our campers and staff are happy that we don’t have any buildings because it’s hard to make a fort in the wilderness inside a room! We also plan for especially hot days prior to the summer with activities designed to be low-exertion, high fun. We vary the pace and energy level of camp based on the temperature and the ages and needs of our campers.
