based on current grade
Daily Schedule
- Elective Based Schedule-Each girl’s program is unique and based on requests she submits in advance of camp.
- Selective the last period of the day, is a free period for girls in Upper Camp. They may sign up for an activity or relax in their cabins (spend time with friends, shower, read a book, etc.)
- Each day ends with a Totem Prep period: a time for the whole group to work together on planning for future special events and leadership opportunities.
Leadership Opportunities
Totems run weekly campfires, lead Wico Challenge Cup (First Session) or Color War (Second Session) and several other special events, like Campfires, Gold Rush and Monster Mash! Totems are the spirit behind these events, organizing them and coming up with themes. Most importantly, they provide the energy and leadership that has been a part of Wico since 1920!
Off-Camp Programming
Trip to Burlington, VT: Totems love this two-day, one-night trip. While there, they sail on Lake Champlain, visit the Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory, and explore downtown Burlington and Church Street! Totems may sign up for Upper Camp hikes. Totem campers have the opportunity to hike Mt. Washington the highest peak in the Northeast!
Highlights-Culminating Camper Experience
- Totems are the oldest girls in camp; they are looked to as leaders and role models by our younger campers.
- Totems look forward to leading their teams in Wico Challenge Cup and Color War.
- Totem Legacy Celebration (TLC): The TLC Project is designed to help the group leave a positive mark on camp. Each Totem group gets a special message inscribed on a brick that is displayed by the office.
