Team Sports & Outdoor Activities

The Sports Program is highly organized: a sports director oversees all the games and prepares all the game schedules. The camp philosophy is to give each team a chance to win. Caritas recognizes not only the efforts of a team to win but also the individual effort of certain players.
Caritas has a fully equipped waterfront. Its licensed lifeguards run a safe waterfront and enforce the "buddy system" for all swimmers. Our waterfront is equipped with kayaks, canoes, sailboats, a swimming area (with buoys), a giant floating raft, and water polo nets. After an exciting morning of sports or after a hot afternoon of outdoor activity, all campers can cool off in the water.

Special trips

During a camp session, special trips are organized for the campers. Only the most motivated and deserving campers are selected for these special trips. These campers are selected for their ability to keep focused, and for following and listening carefully to the instructions for some difficult activities.
Scaling a nearby rock face: Only a few campers are allowed to go on this trip, for it is crucial that the selected ones are serious-minded and mature enough. Teamwork and concentration are a must.
Kayaking down the Rouge River: During the camp session, kayak training lessons are given to the senior cabins and from these training sessions are picked the best kayakers. They will be part of a team that will go on an exciting 90 minute kayak trip down The Rouge River. Together they will challenge the white waters, and will share an experience that they will remember for a long time.
