What’s a Typical Day at Camp Kum-Ba-Yah?
Campers arrive each morning to counselors excited to greet them!
We open each day singing camp songs, then pursue a range of activities designed as physical and mental challenges. Campers cook their own lunches over a campfire they build together. Children 9 and older participate in special team-building and leadership training programs. At the close of each day, campers join in a friendship circle, sing songs, and head home tired, happy, and full of good memories.
Swimming
From beginners to advanced, CKBY offers structured swimming lessons and free-swim time every day of camp.
Arts & Crafts
Campers learn how to tie-dye t-shirts, make art from nature (bird-house gourds, anyone?) and leave camp with their own pottery.
Challenge Course
Extraordinary outdoor adventure for all ages.
Experience BOTH low and high ropes courseS, INCLUDING team-building exercises, ZIP LINES, OR THE CLIMBING WALL.
