Opportunities for Choice: Specialty Periods
While campers take comfort in the structure and predictability of the Camp Akeela program. They also thrive when given a chance to pick their own activities. Our program includes ample opportunity for choice and specialization.
In particular, two activities each day are called “Specialty Periods”. Each week, campers select two program areas in which to specialize.
This allows them time to further develop proficiency and confidence in their favorite areas. And to connect with others who share their interests.
