mix it up with a game of scooter basketball, 21 or Knock-Out! Sometimes in the afternoons, new elective choices are offered using
the basketball courts, such as Floor Hockey or Dodge Ball. |

Soccer
BRDC's soccer field has plenty of room for novice and expert soccer players to learn and improve their skills! Whether

campers kicking the ball around. Every now and then, a new elective choice is offered on the field in the afternoon, like Flag
Football or Ultimate Frisbee. |

cheering on their group-mates. Age-appropriate volleyball skills are taught during activity periods, with the emphasis always on
team work. |

Robin Hood, where are you? Become a skilled archer this summer. Boulder Ridge Day Camp's archery range is the best place
for your kids to become sharpshooters. Morning instruction teaches campers the skills they need and the safety required to be a
top-notch archer. Afternoon choices bring new activities like aiming at water balloons, learning how to count points, or maybe
even hitting that moving target! |

Climbing Tower/Zip Line
Let your kids climb to new heights this summer. Easily one of the most popular activities at BRDC, the
Climbing Wall and Zip Line are for the campers that like challenges. After climbing our 30 foot tower, campers (in a safety
harness, of course) can cruise down our zip line. As with all the activities at Boulder Ridge, safety is always the first concern -
but having fun is a close second! |

Low Ropes Course
Take a swing across the swamp of lava, or rescue your fellow campers from the hungry eyes of a dragon! At BRDC's
Low Ropes Course, trained facilitators will take groups on a journey through challenges and initiatives, where campers will
unknowingly learn what it means to work as a team. |

Mountain Bikes
With fleets of bikes that fit all age campers, come explore what camp looks
like from a bike! For our younger campers, maybe this will be the summer you learn how to ride a bike! For our older campers,
