Activities

Every camper at Camp Veritans is encouraged to take part in our wide variety of exciting activities and programs, at their pace. With gentle and spirited guidance of our well-trained staff, there are over 60 acres of athletic fields, open space, hiking trails, playgrounds and climbing areas for your child to enjoy. All campers are always encouraged to participate in activities but are never forced, a rule that is born of the philosophy that when activities are positively introduced in an inviting and fun manner, children will naturally want to try them.
