Here is the complete list of camp activities, as copied and pasted directly from the Camp America website! If you have any other, unlisted skills (e.g chess, netball, cricket, rugby, rounders, tiddlywinks etc.)you can still include them in your application, under the 'exceptional skills / other' heading! As you can see, there are many non-sporting activities that you can get involved in!! Horse riding is a big activity at some camps, although a lot of states stipulate a minimum age of 21+ to be hired as a riding instructor
What You Do
One of the biggest misconceptions of the Camp America programme is that we're all about sports, and sports alone - and that really couldn't be further from the truth. We offer a wide range of activities that YOU can get involved in at camp and by checking out the list below, we're sure that you'll find an activity which you can help out in this summer!
