Maplewood’s success is built upon a well balanced program, which includes the
following essentials: |
  Fitness: Athletic activities at camp are organized to encourage active participation, which promotes the development of both individual skills and team play. Our programs are individualized to meet the interests and needs of campers with varied athletic abilities. At Maplewood our goal is to teach the fundamentals of each sport in an environment where the campers have a positive learning experience and come away from an activity feeling good about themselves. Activities include: basketball; soccer; T-Ball; track;softball; volleyball; kickball; pillo-polo; football; gymnastics; and much, much more. |
Creativity: Skilled arts-and-crafts specialists guide  children in puppet making, picture framing, sand art, jewelry and other rewarding endeavors. Our many activities encourage campers to express their creativity. Campers
also enjoy creative options in ceramics, string art, gimp, and painting. The
spirit of camp comes alive each day as our drama and music instructors lead campers in skits, songs, cheers, and karaoke. An experienced Dance
Instructor teaches hip hop, creative movement, and rhythms. |
 Achievement: We encourage campers to challenge themselves and to try their hardest in every activity. The golf program includes an 18-hole miniature golf course and professional instruction from local golf pros. Individual instruction with bows and arrows is provided at archery, while martial arts specialists teach movements and techniques to build campers’ self-confidence and discipline. A state-of the-art imprint, rock-climbing wall and indoor adventure ropes course will engage and challenge campers of all ages. |
| Fun and Adventure: Fun and adventure mark every Maplewood day! Surrounding woods provide a setting for campers to experience the wonders of nature.

Horseback riding lessons are also provided at a local stable |
