Session 2: Week of June 24

The Great Outdoors took center stage this week. Campers chose to join expeditions to explore Camp HItaga's many acres in search of critters of all kinds. All creatures great and small, our young explorers found them all!

Session 3: July 1-4 - see photos on Facebook.
Theme: Little Big Camp
Big imaginations come in small packages - KIDS! Though this was a short week, we spent eons exploring new games, out-of-the-box ideas and pursuing creative endeavors. An attitude of YES prevailed. No idea was too wild!

Session 5: Week of July 15 - see photos on Facebook.
Theme: iSpy Week / Adventure Trip: Canoe Voyager
Campers trained to be secret agents and selected missions to save the camp from great peril. They broke codes, wore disguises, learned spy manuevers at spy school and put it all together to save Camp Hitaga for all future campers!
Session 6: Week of July 22
Theme: Be A Hero - and Aquatica too!
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes: this week was about exploring the idea of superheroes. Campers took part in a superhero counselor hunt, created comics, and walked in the footsteps of heroes both real and imagined. Throughout the week campers were challenged to find their own unique superhero abilities -- and enjoyed lots of water activities too!
Session 7: Week of July 29 - see photos on Facebook
Theme: Aquatica
Wet, wild fun prevailed. Camp Hitaga became a water-world where campers slipped and slid, build their own canoes, tried water sports of all varieties and practiced watercolor painting. All things water... Aquatica!
Classic Camp * Discovery Camp * Stirrups & Saddles
The Staff Development Program is designed for young men and women entering 9th-12th grade who sincerely desire to work with children, enjoy being close to nature and aspire to become leaders in their communities.
This is a four-year progressive program with summer stays at camp progressing in length from one to three weeks. Teens selected for this program will first receive leadership training, and then, with supervision, live and work with children during a session at camp. In addition, there will be two weekend SDP Retreats held at Camp Hitaga during the school year - one in the fall and one in the spring.
