camp tour - activities Archery
Archery is well liked by many campers. As with our other target sports, certified instructors teach the girls on a safe and well marked range. Many girls excel at target sports due to their early ability to concentrate and focus their fine motor skills. Success is measured by an awards program developed by the Camp Archery Association. At the end of the season we hold a junior and senior archery tournament.
 
Arts and Crafts
This summer we are looking forward to having an alumna, Lisa Zadravec Rodriquez, lead our Arts and Crafts program. She has been an art teacher, art camp director and artist for many years. She has great ideas for projects in fine arts to decorating and fashion design to painting camp scenes on mural boards for our new Arts and Crafts building!
Riflery
Jeanne d'Arc's riflery program is a popular upper camp activity. Girls, ages 12 and older, participate in the National Riflery Association Program, setting goals to achieve pins as well as participating in the end of the year tournament. Our program is run by a trained and certified instructor.
 
Playing Fields
Jeanne d'Arc's program includes a host of land sports; soccer, lacrosse, softball, field hockey, and ultimate frisbee to name a few. Most of the playing fields span the area between the Hearth and the Chalet, and spectators can easily spot the competitions. At Jeanne d’Arc we focus on skills girls can use for life, the games we play are mostly non-competitive except for when we play other camps. Go Jeanne d’Arcers!
 
Equestrian
Riding is an optional activity. We offer beginning to advanced riding instruction to girls three or six times a week. We have a beautiful, airy 10 horse barn, an Olympic riding arena and are surrounded by numerous woodland trails. Riding is a popular activity at Jeanne d'Arc and every summer the girls showcase their talents in the camp Horse Show and have fun at the horse and rider dress up parade.
 
 
Water Sports
The waterfront on fourteen-mile Lake Chateaugay provides an incredible, fresh-water setting for all types of water sports. These include beginner to advanced sailing, canoeing, water-skiing, windsurfing and swimming. All waterfront activities are taught and supervised by certified Red Cross instructors and lifeguards.
