There is much to be done here at 4-H Camp Shankitunk. Campers have a schedule of events they follow every day they are here. Click here to see that schedule.
We eat all of our meals together, with one or two counselors to a table of eight campers. We're introducing a new menu this year. Click here to see our planned meals
CAMP SCHEDULE (may vary due to weather and on Sundays and Fridays)

8:00 Breakfast, followed by tribal duties: Campers are broken into tribes to do some chores around the camp. These chores include: table setting, cleaning the grounds, rec hall, and bathrooms, performing vespers, and flag lowering and raising. After this, campers return to their cabins to clean their personal spaces. The cabins are rated on a scale of 1 to 10 on their neatness by the nurse during the first class. The neatest cabins get the "slickest spot" award and receive a plaque to hang on the cabin door for the day.
9:15 First Class: Classes vary from camper to camper. These classes are chosen before camp starts by the camper and parent.
