BSA athletes balance the intensity of soccer training with the enjoyment and opportunity of optional activities. During elective periods, girls explore, spend time with friends, and most importantly, relax and have FUN!
There are typically two elective periods offered daily. Each elective is limited to approximately 8-12 campers, depending on the activity. Campers sign up for both electives each morning after breakfast. A wide array of electives are always available.
Creative
Dance | Arts & Crafts | Theater
Our creative elective programs are some of our most popular. Arts & Crafts offers different projects during each session, from ceramics to painting to tie dying. Put together a dance routine with some salsa and hip-hop steps; or just work on your ”Dougie” at the Dance elective! Whether you’re a seasoned actress or not, theater games are for everyone at the Theater elective!
Waterfront
Swimming | Canoeing | Fishing | The Blob
Our Waterfront Director works closely with our lifeguards and instructors to offer an array of activities at our pristine and private 20-acre Larkum Lake. They ensure that our lakefront is a safe and fun place for our campers to cool off and relax. Swimming is offered at every elective period, weather permitting.
Fitness & Wellness
Yoga & Fitness | Juggling & Fancy Footwork | Healthy Cooking
Our Yoga & Fitness elective will help athletes improve their flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination; all of which are necessary on the soccer field. Another way to spend your elective period is practicing your juggles and fancy-footwork. This could be the summer you master “The Rainbow” or “Around the World“!
Camp Games & Sports
Basketball | Ping-Pong | Soccer-Tennis | Frisbee
After coming off the soccer field, our athletes typically need a break to relax and reboot. For some, that means heading to the basketball court to shoot hoops, play H.O.R.S.E., or challenge some friends to a game of soccer-tennis. For others, it means relaxing on the Rec Deck playing games like foos ball and ping-pong. Frisbee, volleyball, and other land sports are offered as well.
Outdoor Adventure
Hiking | Campfire Building | Orienteering
For the eco-camper, our Outdoor Adventure programs are very popular. Campers can sign up for a leisurely hike around the lake, or to the nearby waterfall. There are some hikes that focus on orienteering, identifying native flora and fauna, or building a campfire.
