2025 Weekend Programs

Camp Aldersgate’s Weekend Programs provide developmentally appropriate opportunities for our campers that promote cognitive, physical, social and emotional growth in a fun, engaging camp setting. Activity planning for each weekend includes a mix of physical activities, art, outdoor activities and structured and free-play. Weekend Programs are offered at least once a month during the school year.

Weekend Camps run from Friday at 6:00pm until Sunday at 10:00am. These camps include two nights stay in the cabin, four meals, ten hours of structured activities, two hours of free time, and staffing supervision.

Overnighter Camps run from Friday at 6:00pm until Saturday at 6:00pm. These camps include one night stay in the cabin, three meals, eight hours of structured activities, two hours of free time, and staffing supervision.
