Description For Parents:
An important goal at Takajo certainly is to create a fun-filled, positive atmosphere in which youngsters can develop the many facets of their unlimited potential. The fundamental emphasis, brought home through sports, games, and special events, is on time-tested moral and ethical standards. Integrity, a sense of fair play, respect for one's self and others, appreciation of nature— these are most vital qualities which we constantly reinforce at camp.
If we help children learn to live with others, help them develop self-esteem, independence, and a deepening sense of responsibility, and do so in a way that leads to lasting friendships— then we have accomplished a great deal. This is our goal at Camp Takajo.
Featured Activities for Campers:
The program for each age group is structured and diversified. There is competition in team activities— baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, hockey, flag football, and lacrosse. Each time a camper goes to a team activity, he receives instruction first. The allotted time is geared to the concentration span inherent at each age level. Instruction is followed by a full regular game against one of the other teams in the "league." The teams are balanced. There are no "A" or "B" teams. After the first three weeks of camp, a new league is created to give each camper a chance to mix it up with the other boys in his group and to create new stimulation in the various athletic programs.
Participation in team sports is complemented by an extensive array of hobbies and skills. Hobbies include nature study, painting and drawing, crafts, ceramics, music, dramatics, journalism, digital photographic, videography, woodworking, radio and electronics, rock climbing, and pioneering. Skills consist of tennis, golf, archery, weight and fitness training, sailing, water skiing, canoeing, and swimming.
Other Camper Activities:
Pioneering and tripping activities include backpacking, day hikes and overnight camping, mountain and rock climbing, whitewater canoeing, and ropes course socialization activities. These activities are a significant part of many campers' programs
