At Camp Phoenix, we take pride in offering structured activity programs as opposed to free play. Programs are suited to the individual camper, allowing each camper to experience success or to simply try something new.
Programs follow the theme of the week when possible.

** Campers are divided into flocks during all transition times, in order to maintain regular attendance counts and orderly transitions.**
** Campers will also be divided by flock for lunch and during special activities, as they will be working together with age-appropriate peers.**
