Camper Groups and Registration
Pepperhill Day Camp offers three, 3-week sessions for Summer 2024. New campers must attend camp orientation held each Monday of a new session. Returning campers may split sessions; campers must attend a minimum of two weeks, but we recommend attending all three weeks for maximum opportunity for children to develop competent and consistent skills. Pepperhill campers are divided by age, with all activities carefully geared toward age-appropriate skills and interests.
Please refer to the Parent Checklist before sending in the Registration Forms to make sure you have everything completed.

Junior Camp
Ages 6-8
Rabbits and chickens and horses and pigs - oh my! Junior Campers learn age-appropriate responsibility by caring for the farm animals, feeding and watering them every morning. On very hot summer days, camp groups will check on their assigned animals throughout the day to make sure they have plenty of water. Farm chores are excellent lessons in responsibility and caring for others - and kids love the animals! Then it's off to our daily activity schedules after group time.

Senior Camp
Ages 9-11
Pepperhill works to keep an age-appropriate balance in the activity schedule for Seniors. We swim, play games, ride horses, enjoy nature, canoe, shoot archery, and experience challenges on the ropes course. Senior campers have one half of their day scheduled and enjoy autonomy the other half of the day as they choose their own clubs and elective activities. Special adventures perfect for capturing the imagination and interest of this age group are on the agenda. Seniors enjoy participating in innovative activities and traditional camp events that enhance their camp experience.

Grad Camp
Ages 12-14 (Middle School Campers)
We don't settle for OK at Pepperhill - we make our Grad Camp adventures memorable for our oldest campers! One of the things we are proud of at Pepperhill is our commitment to change. We believe that Grad campers grow and develop best in an environment that's dynamic and responsive to their evolving needs, yet always provides age-appropriate limits for responsibility and healthy living. Grad camp is where 12-,13- and 14-year-olds come together for learning and improving camp activity skills while enjoying more power to choose their camp schedule. Grads also enjoy crazy, zany, and fun events. Each summer is unique because we incorporate many of our Grad campers' own ideas into their special activities. It's a once-in-a-childhood opportunity for campers to get involved in fulfilling work and to discover how it - along with extra effort and a positive attitude - makes all the difference in a life well-lived!
