Try Camp is great for first time campers. Your camper will spend 3 days and 2 nights exploring camp, making new friends and trying camp on for size! Campers will be provided a limited range of camptivities during the session including crafts, theatre, nature, sports, zipline and more. They may not be eligible to sign up for all camptivities available during the week. Regardless, the pool and creek provide a chance to splash around and cool off and are available to all campers throughout the day. Try Camp is a great way to prepare for a longer session at Camp Shaw. If your camper loves camp and is ready for a longer stay, they can choose to stay for the rest of the Youth Camp session (for an additional fee).
