Our whole purpose at Camp Smile is to make camp an "untypical" day for the campers! We create a fun-filled day full of different and activities for our campers to choose from. Each week is a balance of days spent at camp on-site, and half-day or full-day field trips.
A fantastic aspect of Camp Smile is that transportation is provided to and from your door! Busses pickup campers and counselors between 7:45am and 8:00am and the camp day officially begins at 9:00am where everyone is warmly greeted by our professional staff and then proceed to free choice time, typically games and/or crafts. Based upon the day’s itinerary, campers will know what activities to expect for the day after a morning meeting with the camp staff.
After lunch, camp activities such as field & outdoor games, crafts and activities related to weekly themes continue! Our days are filled with structured activities such as boondoggle, kickball, obstacle courses, painting, camp songs and much more!
Overnights
An overnight camping experience is planned, pending applicable health policies and guidelines. If permitted, the overnight will take place on Thursday evening of the fourth week.
Regardless of whether the overnight portion is able to occur, all scheduled evening activities will still take place. Campers, family, and friends will be invited to share an evening meal together, followed by a campfire gathering featuring marshmallows and s’mores. Campers will enjoy traditional camp activities such as campfire stories, songs, and time together at the campsite.
One of the evening’s favorite traditions is the camp talent show, where campers and staff are invited to share their unique talents and performances.
If the overnight is permitted, campers will also have the opportunity to sleep in tents and enjoy a true camping experience. The following morning, the Webster Lions Club traditionally prepares a pancake breakfast for the campers.
The event concludes with an awards ceremony, during which senior counselors and staff reflect on the previous weeks’ activities, and each camper and counselor receives a special award.
