Exciting Summer Camp Special Events at Long Lake
Sometimes, at Long Lake Camp Adventures, we like to do something a little extra special for our campers. We want them to develop a strong sense of unity that comes from being involved with others and working to achieve a common goal. We regularly offer special events for anyone who wants to participate, and they can include activities like:
Rafting – As a team, the campers will build and sail their own rafts.
Zombie Day – Not only will you look the part of the zombie, you can participate in bunk challenges like the brain eating contest.
Polar Bear Swims – There’s nothing quite like taking an early morning dip in cold water on hot days.
Water Events – Participate in water pistol and balloon challenges, try the giant slip-n-slides, and more.
Off-Roading – We have two Jeeps that are always ready to take campers for special off-road adventures.

What are “themed days for summer camp” at Long Lake?
Themed days are special days built around a theme – Zombie Day, for example, with themed challenges, or camp-wide celebrations. They add extra fun and creativity and give campers a unique experience every time.
Can parents attend or watch special events?
Parents are generally not able to attend special events, as we prioritize the campers’ experience and full participation without distractions. We do host family days and end-of-session events where parents can join in on the fun.
Is there a Zombie Day or similar themed day for campers?
Yes! Zombie Day is one of our favorite themed days, with obstacle courses, scavenger hunts and plenty of brain-eating contests. We run other themed days throughout the summer to keep things exciting.
How do special events help with homesickness?
Special events keep campers engaged and create shared experiences. Fun, challenging activities like raft-building and water events build new friendships and bonds, helping campers feel connected and less focused on being away from home.
