Camp Activities
No week at Three Mile is exactly the same but there are a few scheduled events that happen week-to-week, year-to year. As a camper, you are welcome to plan your own additional activities including: group paddles to Blueberry Island, water carnivals, sailboat regattas, capture the flag, happy hours, singalongs, nature walks, mushroom hunts, stargazing, talent shows or whatever else you enjoy.
While it isn't exactly the same each year, below is a typical schedule for a summer week.
Week 1, 2023 will host a pilot camper naturalist program. To see the proposed schedule click here.
