Daily Schedule
Each day starts promptly at 7:30 with reveille played to stir you from your nighttime hibernation. For the early risers we have pre-reveille activities like organized walks and yoga classes to start off your day. Breakfast is served at 8:00 and can be eaten at a leisurely pace to give you time to sign up for the day’s activities. The morning is filled with 2 activity periods that lead to lunch served at 12:30. The morning activity periods focus on traditional camp activities, fully staffed by our family camp counselors. Following lunch, rest hour gives you the chance to relax as a family before the afternoon activities begin.
Afternoon activities often involve the waterfront and also include many of our special activities, trips out of camp and other organized games for all ages. Some of these special activities require registration prior to arriving at Family Camp. Please see below for more details. Dinner is served either in the mess hall or as an outdoor bbq at 6:00. Most nights an evening activity is scheduled for the full family. The evening activities are often family favorites and include drive-in movie nights, special games and our traditional campfire on Friday night with family skits and performances (optional for brave souls!)
In addition to enjoying the activity schedule, families are always welcome to spend a more leisurely day exploring the trails on our campus or just relaxing away the hours reading on the front porch of your cabin!

Activities
The activity periods may be made up of any number of dozens of traditional camp activities and athletics. Through the years, we’ve offered over 50 different activity choices. Activities we consider mainstays to the FLFC experience include archery, arts & crafts, baseball, basketball, canoeing, climbing, fencing, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, music, riflery, sailing, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, and wilderness skills. Each year we offer additional unique activities dependent on our counselors’ expertise and experience as well as the interests of our campers.
Special Activities
In addition to the regular activities included as part of the family camp schedule, we offer the following special activities for an additional fee.
Horseback Riding
Offered at our stables, riding may be taken by adults and children (with proper supervision for our youngest campers). Riders will be grouped by ability and taught by our expert riding instructors. All the horses have been screened and tested for appropriateness for different levels of riders. Each rider will have the chance to ride 2x during the week of family camp.
Whitewater Rafting
Our whitewater rafting guide will take families on a whitewater rafting trip down the Sacadaga River on one afternoon during the family camp week. Appropriate for all family members over the age of 7 who have passed our swim test, this is a great way to see the local area and spend a beautiful afternoon on the river with your family.
Waterskiing and Tubing
For the beginner or expert skier, we offer waterskiing once during the family camp week for campers 7 years of age or older who have passed our swim test.. Run by our contracted ski instructors, skiers will spend an afternoon on Daggett Lake including expert instruction or a chance to ski at your own pace.
