WELCOME!

Camp Arrowhead offers a tradition in camping like no other. For over 60 years, Arrowhead

has fostered a sense of the outdoors, fun, and adventure. Our 55-acre facility is dedicated

to our campers for the summer months. The experience of camp changes children for life;

we are glad you’ve chosen Arrowhead. We are very proud of our rich history of serving

the Rochester community as a summer day camp and outdoor center. We are looking

forward to another wonderful summer of memories and fun with your camper.

Throughout the summer your camper will learn a new skill, make a new friend, try

something new, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Camp provides children the

opportunity to experience new things and gain self-confidence in a safe and nurturing

environment. Camp allows children to UNPLUG, both from technology and their daily

lives, and experience the world around them. It is the best summer vacation a child can

have and we thank you for choosing the best camp!

This program provides a service learning experience for teens.

Youth will learn the values of volunteerism, leadership, and

teamwork through a series of teambuilding games and experiences,

utilizing our ropes course for parts of this experience. Additionally

they will design and implement a service learning project at Camp

Arrowhead, Powder Mills Park, or the local Fish Hatchery.

Campers will have time during their three week session to help

with different areas of camp programming, such as Ropes and

Archery, under the guidance of the leadership staff. All participants

will enjoy day camp activities including recreational swim and

outdoor activities. This program serves as a transitional program

for many teens between Teen Trekkers and our Counselor-In-

Training program.

Counselor-In-Training Program (CIT)

Must be age 15 by the end of the summer, realizing

that we can only hire at age 16 for the following

summer.

The CIT program provides participants with training to become

Junior Counselors for the following summer. This four-week

program is designed to provide a structure and atmosphere that

allows participants to grow as individuals and as a community to

become the best camp counselors they can be!

The first week of the program is dedicated to leadership training

and learning all about Camp Arrowhead. The focus of the second

week is on safety, working with children, and child-development.

The third week is designed to focus on developing creative and

fun programs for campers and to allow participants to put these

newly learned skills into practice in program areas. The fourth

week of the program is an “internship week” where CITs will

put all of their knowledge and skills to the test by shadowing

in units. Finally, upon a successful completion of the program,

CITs will be asked to volunteer for the last two weeks of the

summer.

Participants will participate in swimming, specialty areas, and

various trainings at camp throughout the summer. This program

provides the perfect mix of experiential learning, leadership, and

fun for a memorable summer.
