SUMMER CAMP

For 4 weeks ( two 2 week sessions ), children ages 8-17, and the staff, are members of a cooperative community, learning the value of interdependent living. Everyone shares in the cooperative tasks necessary to maintain the community. Nonviolent solutions to problems are sought as well as alternatives to competition in all aspects of the camp's daily life. Work projects, swimming lessons, a drama program, nature exploration, folk dancing, cooperative games, and arts and crafts activities all contribute to the summer camp program. Traditionally summer camp ends with a "Folk Opera" presented by campers and a closing ceremony at the beach. Family and friends are welcomed for these events. Circle Pines Summer Camp is licensed by the Michigan Department of Social Services and accredited by the American Camping Association. A scholarship program, made available through donations and member fund-raisers, such as an annual Christmas tree sale in Chicago, ensures that CPC camp is available to families of differing economic backgrounds. Our summer camp brochure will be available soon.
