6-9 Grades
A co-ed and mixed-grade group, Pioneers must work cooperatively,
committing to resolve conflicts and share in the decision making
process. All first-time Pioneers must be interviewed prior to their
participation to ensure they understand division expectations.
Junior (6-7 graders) and senior (8-9th graders) Pioneer groups work
with counselors to create a schedule of activities and events for
the five-week session.
Junior and Senior group of
Pioneers work with counselors to create a schedule of activities and
events for the five-week session. Through cooperative learning
activities, challenges and their own ideas, Pioneer develop
self-esteem, leadership skills and take responsibility for their
camp day. Campers have great latitude to develop activities that
appeal to them. They plan their own schedule of trips and activities
in addition to swimming, art and sport periods on the camp schedule.
The group receives a budget for ancillary expenses since they
often leave the grounds to visit Reis Beach, Yankee Stadium or South
Street Seaport. Counselors guide discussions, the group's
decision-making process, and mediate as needed. Pioneers quickly
learn to adapt to program expectations. Pioneers must work
cooperatively, commit to resolve conflicts, share in the decision
making process, embrace new experiences, work with co-ed and
mixed-grade campers and accept responsibility for their day.
Pioneers are offered options to participate in camp-wide events or
to select their own A.C.T.ivities. They are free to use the many
facilities and resources New York City offers as well as those
available on the campgrounds.
Camping Trip:
The Pioneers will leave on a camping trip
in mid-July. Help plan an action packed 3 day camping trip. Past
camping trip events have included, evening storytelling, a Murder
Mystery Party, tubing down the Esophus River, make-believe gladiator
arena, Casino Night, wilderness challenges, touch football/softball
games, hiking, sunning and swimming at a lake. Trip plans are yet to
be determined. An additional fee is required to help defray trip
expenses. The additional fee is payable the week prior to the trip.
