Day Camp Programs & Schedule

Get ready for great adventures at camp!  Camp Killoqua's Day Camp program gives campers in grades K-8 the chance to try all kinds of fun activities, meet new friends and have fun at Killoqua's 185-acre site.

Each session includes a variety of general and theme activities – no two weeks are the same! All campers experience games, songs, swimming, boating, outdoor cooking, crafts, and lots more. Groups may also choose out-of-camp trips to local parks, by foot (all ages) or by bike (grades 5-8). 
Check out a sample daily schedule.

Campers are divided into groups, each with a caring, trained counselor. The adult-to-camper ratio is 1:10. Campers bring a sack lunch; a daily snack is provided.

Day camp hours: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Extended hours: 7:30 – 9:00am and 4:00 – 5:30pm
