The camp offers over 35 activities including archery, riflery, creative arts, swimming, horseback riding, Zumba, field games, and more—ensuring every camper finds something to love. Campers live in cozy cabins with age-group peers, guided by caring counselors who foster a friendly and supportive environment. Whether playing basketball with friends, building LEGO creations, or taking on a ropes course challenge, each moment is filled with opportunities to gain confidence, try new things, and build lifelong friendships. Cheerio’s philosophy centers on personal growth, Christian spirit, and joy in everyday moments. Evening programs give campers a chance to perform, create, and celebrate together, while optional day trips to local natural wonders offer unforgettable adventures.
