Camp Periwinkle
2021-07-19 - 2021-07-23 | Virtual
We are excited to announce that Virtual Camp Periwinkle will be hosted July 19-23, 2021 in an engaging and interactive online format featuring live activity sessions hosted by Periwinkle counselors, volunteers, and special guests! We look forward to the day when we can all safely gather again in-person, and until then we are creating the BEST VIRTUAL CAMP EVER based on your feedback and the creativity of so many talented individuals.
Each day of Virtual Camp Periwinkle will have 2-3 LIVE scheduled Zoom activities and several on-your-own activities for campers to complete during their free time. Based on the feedback from campers last year, we are keeping and revamping the most popular activities, such as Build A Fort and Minute To Win It! We are also adding time in the schedule so campers have more time to chat with their friends and will do a Zoom Arts & Crafts session. Every camper will receive a Camp In A Box filled with supplies needed for the activities, a camp t-shirt, and other fun Periwinkle swag! We know it’s going to be a creative and meaningful time with our Periwinkle community!
