HOW DOES THE ELECTIVE PROGRAM WORK?

Our 12-page catalog explains how you go about picking activities and how your parents can give you total or partial control of your activity schedule.  It’s available by calling 908-470-9317.

But the best part of the Elective Program is...

Campers are guaranteed to get at least 15 PERIODS of instruction each week in ANY of the activities you select.  And the “15 period” guarantee is just a minimum guarantee! - Usually more instruction can be scheduled if you want it!

We have some campers who schedule all sports activities. Other campers schedule all arts or waterfront or adventure activities. At Lohikan you can "specialize" in any activity area you want. And you'll be participating in activities with campers from your division who have the same interests as you. We’ve found that a great way to widen your circle of friends!  And it's FUN!

In the case of intermediates (11 and 12 year olds), boys are scheduled activities with boys and girls are scheduled activities with girls. In the case of seniors (13 and older), certain activities are scheduled as coed activities (i.e. waterfront activities, creative arts activities, performing arts activities and horseback riding).

The Elective 100% Individualized Program at Lohikan has proven to be a real winner with intermediates and seniors. It's the only Elective Program we know of where parents are given optional control over what activities appear and how many periods are scheduled for their child.

It's also one of the few Individualized Elective Program we know of where there is total accountability for the whereabouts of every camper at all times. 

When you combine all of the features of our computerized elective program with the huge range of daily activity choices available at Camp Lohikan – it’s clear you’re going to have the BEST SUMMER! And that's exactly our objective… We intend to make this summer your very best!!!
