What happens on the first day of camp?  You're excited. You're scared. Your stomach has butterflies and your head is swamped with questions. Will I make a friend?  What cabin will I be in? Who will be my counselors? When do I get to pick my activities? When do we eat?!? Wow! You sound just like the rest of our Cub Creek campers!   When you arrive at camp you will find out the name of your counselors and your cabin.  Your counselor will be waiting for you at your cabin and help your unpack.  After everyone has arrived, you and your cabin group will take a tour of camp and play some fun group games, to help you get to know one another and learn each other's names.  All cabin groups will get together just before dinner to meet the director and find out about all the fun activities planned for the week.  After dinner everyone will meet at the pool for swim tests and free swim.  We will also have games under the main pavilion.

How is the food?  GREAT!  We have lots of choices so there is always sure to be something that you like.  For breakfast we have cereal, juice, fruit, yogurt and something hot, like eggs and bacon,  French toast, waffles, or pancakes.  Lunch is usually sandwiches, hamburgers or hot dogs with chips, fruits, drink and dessert.  Dinner is everyone's favorite.  The main entree may be fried chicken, spaghetti, or pizza.  We have a salad bar with fruit, Jell-O etc. available at dinner.

What type of activities are at camp?  Our activities are what makes Cub Creek Science Camp so special.  Check out this link to our activity page. Unlike other camps that assign cabin groups to activities, at Cub Creek Science Camp, YOU choose what activities you will take.  With more than 65 activity choices you will always be doing something you like.  All the activities are lots of fun and you will  take something home with you from almost every activity that you do.

What if I don't know anyone at camp?  A lot of campers don't know anyone when they first arrive.  But don't worry, that won't last long.  The first day at camp is spent learning all about the other campers in your cabin and in camp.  By dinner on the first day you will know lots of people.

What will I need to bring with me to camp?  After you register for camp, we will send you a list of items to bring.  Briefly, you will need to bring one week's worth of clothes, swimming suit, towel, toiletries and bedding. 

Who are the counselors?  Our counselors are college age people who love the outdoors and kids.  They are all great at having fun and are eager to have you come to camp.  Counselors will become your good friends.  They will help you meet new friends, complete projects and even learn fascinating new things.  Every cabin has at least three counselors.

What if I still have questions?  You can always send the director an e-mail.  I love hearing from campers and your question may be added to this section for other campers who may be wondering the exact same thing.  You may also want to check out the parent information section, for more questions and answers.
