During camp, Waterdog and Duskie campers select from among the various “elective” activities each day. A full complement of programs is offered. Elective choices may vary each day/week to keep things exciting, to allow for changes in weather, and to showcase our staff’s special skills. Due to the wide array of activities at Chestnut Ridge, we cannot guarantee that campers will get to do every activity camp has to offer in just one week.
