Monday and Tuesday - You'll play a gigantic game with your unit. Some of our favorites are Capture the Flag (get the other team's flag before they capture yours!), Lost Batallion (work together to find hidden staff members, earn Camp Ernst "money", and keep it dry while running through the water gauntlet!), and Chaos (roll the giant dice to determine your team's next challenge).

Wednesday - Get ready to spend some great time outdoors with your friends at a cookout, playing dodge ball and eating s'mores.

Thursday - Everyone gets excited for the Camp Ernst Party featuring Sno Kones, popcorn, cotton candy, tractor rides, music and friends, followed by the Fine Arts Talent Show where we view the week's movies and presentations by the dance, music, and art clubs.

Friday - To close out the week of fun and friendship with Unit Awards, Honor Night Campfire, memory sticks, and a slideshow.

“I think the awards he received made him feel good about himself – it’s obvious you place a high value on respecting others and teamwork. We were impressed that he could do so well going into an environment which was foreign to him. He wants to come back next year!”
