Schedule



Our schedule keeps you busy most of the day. If you want to keep active all day long, then there is something for you to do just about every waking hour. If you want to take a breather and relax, we have built in free time -- or you can skip a class if you really want to!

Below is a sample schedule of what a typical week at Moose Camp looks like. Each year will bring about some changes, but this gives you a good idea of what to expect.
