Experience

Junior Woodcraft

Loading from Vimeo...

Boys and girls, ages 7 to 9, are invited to experience Woodcraft Camp -- junior style!

This four-day camp runs as close to the real experience as possible, revealing the fun and excitement of our day-to-day programs at Culver Woodcraft Camp.

Junior Woodcrafters follow a similar structure complete with activity rotations, free swim, evening activities and leadership opportunities.

Junior Woodcrafters are split by boys (Chipmunks) and girls (Hummingbirds) in our cabins on our beautiful Culver campus near the shores of Lake Maxinkuckee. Our 4-to-1 ratio provides the safety, leadership and supervision younger campers deserve from a world-class camp program.

Arrival & Departure Information

Please plan on enough time to travel and arrive at Culver for registration between 8:00 am - 12:00 pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, June 8th. All campers will report to the Woodcraft Library (entrance on Indiana 10) for registration and housing assignments.

At registration, you will receive all of the necessary contact information for the camp director and camp headquarters.

All parents and family members are invited to the Retreat Parade and Closing Ceremony on the last day of camp, Saturday, June 11th at 10:00 AM at the Woodcraft Amphitheater. This will give you and your family a chance to see what your camper has learned while he/she was at camp!

We will also have a picnic for campers and parents after the Closing Ceremony.
