Weekly Themes 2025
Enchanted Forests Week (6/23 - 6/27)
Shh... Do you hear that? The flutter of fairy wings. The ring of a gnome's pickaxe. The belch of an ogre. The forest is full of hidden surprises the closer you look. But what happens when the enchanted creatures of the forest come together in a single place? Will they clash, or are they capable of setting aside their rivalries in order to achieve a common goal?
Mystery Week (6/30 - 7/4)
The game is afoot! When a secret plan comes to light in the form of an encrypted note, it will take more than one (let's say a whole campfull) of detectives to solve it. Spies, codebreakers, and folks sharp of wit and mind are needed if we're going to solve this mystery.
Please note, there is no camp on Friday, July 4th.
Storybooks Week (7/7 - 7/11)
An ancient and magical tome placed on the camp library bookshelf has suddenly brought many classic and modern storybook characters to life! All at once we find ourselves tumbling through page after page of tales meant to inspire laughter and wonder, but if we don't want to be lost in the books forever, we'll have to travel to The End by living through these stories firsthand. What could go wrong?
The City Week (7/14 - 7/18)
Honk! Beep! The sounds of the city fill the air as taxi drivers, steelworkers, and newsies go about their lives, always on the quest to keep the city moving and growing. But in an era of the "new and improved" how will city dwellers adjust to the changing times? Telephones, computers, the internet, oh my! This promises to be a week that shakes things up.
Superheroes Week (7/21 - 7/25)
Calling all superheroes! Though we thwarted the Phantom Camper's evil plan to turn The Director against us using the "phantom device," it seems this villain is still at large and more determined than ever to take over camp. The Director is calling upon the aid of superheroes, sidekicks, and heroes-in-training alike for one final showdown with the Phantom Camper, hopefully ending these nefarious needs once and for all.
Music Week (7/28 - 8/1)
Long-time camp special guests Timmy and Suzy are back to introduce us to the hottest genres, artists, and songs from their favorite playlists. You likely won't have heard anything like it before (trust us). So warm up those vocal chords and add Music Week to the queue!
Wild West Week (8/4 - 8/8)
Yee-haw! Following a recent and unexpected gem rush, the town of Quaker Gulch has entered an era of abundance and prosperity in which every part of the town has the means to thrive. And now the mayor has called a town hall meeting to discuss what's to be done about all the extra gems still flowing in. Decisions must be made, and every voice matters. So saddle up your horse and gallop on over to the wild west.
Witches and Wizards Week (8/11 - 8/15)
Abracadabra! An oracle has appeared to the students of the Princeton Friends Magical Academy to tell of a hidden and powerful wand with the ability to boost everyone's magic to untold heights, but in order to learn the location of the wand they'll need to face the oracle's challenges. Join us as we practice our spellcasting, potion making, and magical creature taming in the hopes of finding the wand and fulfilling the oracle's prophecy!
Pirates Week (8/18 - 8/22)
Yo ho ho and a bottle of... water! Though most pirates are scoundrels and scallywags, the crews that sail the Spicey Seas are more into the pirate aesthetic than any actual pillaging or plundering. Nevertheless, we gather to share tales of the high seas and perhaps even a sea shanty or two during this most piratical of weeks.
