Floats!
In a week filled with scheduled bunk activities, Floats offers campers the time to do exactly what this beloved block is named for: to float around the areas of Camp they love!
Campers can participate in floats solo, with friends from their cabin, or with friends from other cabins – it’s an exercise in independence! They also get to choose from a variety of Floats activities.
Floats is a unique time, when campers can visit an area of Camp they haven’t explored yet, or revisit a program or a place that that they loved. During Floats, specialist staff lead different kinds of activities, including drama games, boating on the lake, candle-making or other projects at Arts and Crafts, or games like soccer.
During this time, campers may feel more of a sense of freedom to explore the many aspects of what Camp Tawonga can offer, and perhaps a greater sense of independence as they make the choice of how to spend this time and with whom.
