our program

The dynamic program at Greenwood Trails camp is designed to give every camper an experience that balances individual choice with strong community connections with their cabinmates and respective age groups. Campers have six 50-minute activity periods each day, and campers are allowed to customize the majority of their schedule. See the daily schedule here.

Weekly Majors

From soccer to archery to yoga to video production, campers can discover new passions and strengthen existing skills.

In the mornings, campers have two activity periods called majors, which are organized across four trails – aquatics, athletics, adventure and arts. Majors last one week, giving campers time to dig into their chosen activity and learn in meaningful ways.

Daily Minors

From pool games to ceramics to paint twister to zip lining, so many choices every day!

Afternoons feature two minors, chosen daily. Minors let campers try a wide variety of activities—from swimming, soccer, and woodworking to more imaginative options like marshmallow catapult making, mud gaga, or group hug scavenger hunts. Counselors (and sometimes campers) invent new minors each year, making them one of camp’s most creative and beloved traditions.

The other two daily activity periods are different for our Lenape Division (8-12 year olds) and Delaware Division (13-16 year olds).

Lenape Activities (8-12 years old)

Lenape campers enjoy a daily swim period in our pool or private lake. Their other activity period rotates across camp, either with their cabin or age group, encouraging friendships and shared adventures.

Delaware Activities (13-16 years old)

Delaware campers spend one period in Delaware Time, a supervised free-choice block, and another in Delaware Community Projects (DCP). Options include community service, camp beautification, Junior Lifeguarding, Junior Ropes, and others, all designed to build leadership skills and foster self-expression.

CAMPER SPOTLIGHT

Becky

I always get a lot of personal growth and it's really cool to look back to see how far or different I've become. When I was little I was not very confident at all. I was generally a shy person and was not good at making friends. Now looking at where I am, I'm a CIT, I can get up on stage, I do the school plays. I know I never, ever would have been able to do that without camp. Everyone's there supporting you, they want you to succeed and everyone wants you to have fun. Looking back, I've become more confident and I think more capable. I'm definitely learning a lot of life skills.
