Camp JDA clubs

Clubs have been a part of the CJDA tradition from the early days of camp. The names on the walls of the Hearth honor those who went the “extra mile” to gain expert status in one or more of the following activities:
Sail Club
Canoe
Horseback Riding
Mountaineering and Camp Craft
Earning placement in a club is a challenge; requiring faith, endurance, courage, and confidence. The accomplishment is a great one, accompanied by celebratory recognition and placement on the name boards in the Hearth.

Frequently asked questions

You have questions, we have answers. Go through your most frequently asked questions about activities.

Yes, your daughter will have an opportunity to select activities every afternoon based on a list of activities being offered that day. Morning activities are pre-assigned, giving everybody a chance to try everything. Aside from additional activities paid for, a special request for a particular activity multiple times during the week is not a request we can accommodate (Can my daughter play tennis 3 times a week? Sorry, we cannot make that promise). We stay so busy at camp, it isn’t possible to make that commitment.

Most of the activities are included in camper tuition–exceptions being horseback riding, water ski, tubing, golf, and motor trips. If campers elect not to participate in these additional activities, they will be very busy and very pleased with all the included options available.

Campers may choose to use their optional time at camp to study for entrance into a club. Clubs offered at camp include horseback riding, canoeing, mountaineering, and sail. Entrance into a club usually requires multiple summers of study, preparation, and hard work. Campers who earn this achievement are recognized at Award Night or Banquet with a celebration. It is an honor to receive entrance into a club. Camper’s names will be added to the hand painted boards in the Hearth.
