Overnights
There are two different types of overnights available: Fall and Spring.
Overnight programs can be designed to focus on the goals of Character
Education.
Fall Overnights (September - October)
This experience is a wonderful way for a class and teacher to get
to know one another in an entirely different setting, and bond in
a way that doesn’t happen in the classroom! During this overnight
experience, the group can participate in team building activities
such as the initiative games, challenge course, and orienteering.
The group may choose to sleep on wooden bunks in our three-sided shelter,
affectionately known as the Madden Marriott, or on the floor of the
conference center. The group is responsible to provide their own food
but may prepare it in the conference center kitchen. Please provide
at least four parent chaperones per class. An outdoor education staff
member is available to spend the night with the group to assist in
coordination of the group. The fee is $90 per staff member. Special
evening programs are available for an additional fee. These programs
can be chosen from the programs listed in this catalog or outside
consultants may be brought in. The fall overnight is done with one
class.
Spring Overnights (April - June)
Groups can choose to sleep in wooden bunks in our three-sided shelter,
affectionately known as the Madden Marriott or, on the floor of the
conference center. A special canoe trip to the great swamp can be
arranged for an additional fee. The group is responsible to provide
their own food but may prepare it in the conference center kitchen.
Please provide at least four parent chaperones. An outdoor education
staff member is available to spend the night with the group to assist
in the coordination of the group. The fee is $90 per staff member.
