A Day at CDC

Your child’s day begins between 8:20 and 9:00 am as he/she is picked up by a Deer Creek bus. From the second they step on the bus, they are “going away” to Deer Creek for the day. Most vans reach camp by 9:20 and opening exercises with “the Chief”, owner Jay Weitzel, begin at 9:30. After the opening, your child will follow a structured day, which includes seven 45 minute periods.

The activities include: instructional and recreational swim, optional horseback riding lessons, archery lessons, climbing wall, a ropes course, arts and crafts, drama, nature hikes, creek hikes, music and of course the ever popular field games. Deer creek also serves a hot lunch prepared daily in our kitchen. All children swim twice daily except the Crickets and the Braves, whose one swim period is divided for instruction and for recreation.

The bell to return to the vans rings at

3:30 pm and the campers get a drink

of Kool-Aid and a pretzel for their

return ride home. Most drop offs are

between 3:45 and 4:30 pm
