The Junior Division at Lake Greeley Camp is the designation for our youngest campers in the camp population. These campers in the Junior Division take part in many things that any other camper does, but there are a couple differences that are unique to the division so that the campers can acclimate better to the camp environment and enjoy their time at Greeley.
Cabin Schedule
Unlike the Intermediates and Seniors, the Junior Division is one that operates on a cabin-based schedule. That means that the camepers will be going around as a cabin or division group with counselors acting at GCC's or General Cabin Counselors in order to provide supervision in between activities and in addition to the counselors instructing the activities as well.
While they are doing mostly any activity that our older campers would be doing, there are some exceptions based on the age such as not being allowed to use our Quads or ATV's, going on off camp trips like our Railriders baseball and White Water Rafting.
The great thing about the cabin schedule is that if there is an activity that the Junior campers would want to participate more in, we need only change the schedule to incorporate more of that activity. Changes can be made simply and quickly.
Cabin Clean-Up
One point we try to instill in the campers is responsibility, not just in making your own decisions through activities or in how to interact with others, but also in taking care of your area in your cabin. All our campers take part in cabin clean-up in the morning which would include making beds, folding and putting away clothes and making the cabin, in general, clean. The children can expect to take part in cabin clean up with a rotating chore chart with jobs like sweeping or taking out the trash from the cabin as jobs they kids can do.
The best part of cabin clean up is that a winning boys and girls cabin who have the best score at the end of the week get a pizza party from a local pizzeria as a reward for their efforts!
Evening Activities
The Junior Division takes part in evening activities that are either camp-wide or specific to the division on some nights. These activities can include pool parties, socials, athletic events or special themed activities. For a schedule of the evening activities, you can go to our evening activity page to get a sense of which activities are occurring when your child(ren) are at camp. The more participation in these activities the better as it allows your child(ren) to take on a more active role in camp.
