“We would run a number of activities including trapeze, climbing wall, zipline, ropes course, archery, tennis, sports, arts and crafts, swimming, water park, canoeing, stand up paddleboards, kayaking, tubing, etc…. The kids would be divided into groups based on age and would have counselor travel with them to activities. The kids would be with their parents during Rec. time and would be able to participate with them at activities at that time. We would also organize evening programs for the kids and or could combine an E.P. with kids and parents together. We would run a separate EP for EYB.” Bruce Nashman
