TRADITIONS

MINI CAMP TRADITIONS

Since 1982, we have established many wonderful traditions. At ESF, every day in camp is an opportunity to create memories that span generations. This may be why so many of our Alumni (former campers and "Team" members) are still very involved. Some are famous, some less so, but all of them still love ESF because it's a special place where they spent their summers. Here are just a few of our Mini Camp Traditions:

Graduation

At the end of each summer, Mini Campers participate in a Mini Camp Graduation where they are honored for their Mini Camp accomplishments, introduced to Tee-pee Villange, get to touch the Spirit Stick for the first time, and receive the Official Mini Camp Graduation Cap and Certificate!  This is a special time for all Mini Campers.

 

The Mini Camp Show

Mini campers get to show-off their talents while singing and dancing to the rhythm and beat of a themed musical adventure as they perform in the Mini Camp Show each summer.  Their parents/guardians, friends, counselors, and fellow campers applaud their efforts as they join in the fun and festivities.

 

Mini Camp Pennant

The Pennant is considered the "yearbook" of camp and is signed by all the campers and counselors.  The Pennant serves as a symbol that will recall many memories that a child will treasure forever.
