TOM SAWYER offers four camps, each devoted to a different level of development. All four camps provide horseback riding, swimming instruction, pressure-free sports, group games, and a rugged outdoor program that acquaints the campers with the local wilderness areas. Each child belongs to a group of his or her own peers, and each group, guided by fearless counselors, is complete with secret oaths, handshakes, forts and treasures. Sharing these adventures develops a strong group spirit. Selecting the group's name is an important task and you will hear tall tales about the adventures of the Sparkling Shimmering Star Fish, the Fuzzy Wuzzy Fireballs, The Sensational Super Spy Squad or the Desert Commandos. In the Tom Sawyer-Huck Finn tradition, secrecy and mystery are very important with age-old legends of the One-Eyed Monster, Echo Princess, Ivan, Garbog, and the Trids. At the end of each day, the groups share with others campers what death defying feats they have performed at camp that day, with each group bragging about the adventures of their day.
