Our Introduction 5-Night Program

A great introduction to the world of sleepaway camp, help prepare your rising 2nd-5th grader (in Fall 2025) for a longer session at CGL with our 5-night Mini-Camp! 

Campers sample all parts of the CGL camp experience: sleeping in cabins, eating our great food, trying fun activities, and of course, making friends! Mini-Camp is just long enough to get used to being away AND fall in love with the camp experience.

• What: A 5-night introduction to what makes camp great – from making friends and sleeping in a cabin away from parents, to archery, climbing, lake activities and more!
• Who: Children who are new to CGL and entering 2nd – 5th grades in Fall 2025, OR campers entering 3rd grade in Fall 2025 who attended mini-camp in 2024.
• When: Three Traditional Sessions in 2025. Sessions start on a Monday afternoon and end on a Saturday morning.
