Owl Program (Grades 3-4)
Owl program campers continue to gain more independence while navigating ever changing social dynamics. They are encouraged to try new things, and new activities are introduced at each grade-level. Campers experience creative play, compromise, friendship, and sharing within a group of their peers.
Like all age groups, Owl program campers will enjoy
- Six rotating activity periods each day, plus lunch, swim, and juice bars!
- A unique group theme created by their group, leading to special adventures.
- Activities like archery, arts & crafts, field sports and games, gaga, hiking, initiatives (team building activities), nature & ecology, playground sports & games (basketball, handball, tetherball, volleyball, etc.), performing arts, and swim!
- Plus the age-specific activities listed below.
- Practicing the Kinneret Roots: Independence, Teamwork, Creativity, Friendship, and Community.
Important things to know about the Quail program
- Owl program campers are grouped by grade level (entering 3rd or 4th grade in the fall).
- Owl program groups are gender-inclusive. However, if there is an imbalance of genders in a certain age, we may create single-gender groups, as needed.
- Owl program groups have 12 – 15 campers attending each day.
- Additional age-appropriate activities include building blocks, miniature golf, paddle boats, rock climbing, group choice periods, sidewalk chalk, and wilderness play.
- 4th graders also participate in gardening and high ropes course.
- Owl program counselors are strong role models and balance their silliness with guidance as campers continue to grow and explore the world around them.
