Pioneers

A great introduction to resident camp! Pioneers enjoy introductory activities - boating, nature exploration, crafts and games with their cabin group. They have a special campfire designed with age-appropriate skits and songs, roast s'mores by a campfire and sleep in bunk beds in our heated cabins with a bathroom and shower.

Pioneers staff are trained to handle the challenge that come with a camper being away from home for what is often the first time (both for campers and families). We'll develop a communication strategy with families to keep them in the loop with how their child is doing, while maintaining the child's sense of, "I'm doing it by myself."

Camp staff work with parents to pre-write letters that can be delivered daily, that tell campers how proud you are of their success and encourage them to have a great time.

Our strategies are proven successful and you and your camper will grow from being involved with Camp Seymour and the Pioneers program. We promise.
