Senior Program
Many girls who have attended traditional camps for a number of years are now looking for a new and exciting experience. The Senior Program, long a favorite at Mohawk, provides a program which recognizes that 14 and 15 year olds require a program more responsive to their needs, abilities, and skill levels.
Cape Cod
This program features one week in camp pursuing traditional camp activities and five days during the second week on Cape Cod.
During your week there, you will have the chance to try the best that the Cape has to offer! Try sea kayaking along the coast of the Atlantic and take surf lessons with the seals. See the sights in Province town and visit the Pilgrim Monument, and then climb aboard Dolphin Fleet for whale watching. Ride a bike to the famous Coast Guard beach to enjoy a game of volleyball or just relax to the sound of the waves. Participants will be staying at the beautiful Eastham Youth Hostel.
This amazing opportunity has limited space so avoid disappointment – Sign up now!
Only available Session 2S (July 8 to July 21) and Session 3S (July 22 to August 4).

Day Trips
Participants in the Day Trips Senior Program enjoy the first week of each two-week experience at camp engaging in traditional camp activities of their choosing, as well as a variety of evening activities such as trips to town to see a movie, panel discussions and a Challenge Ropes Course. The second week of each session is spent on day trips and excursions away from camp. The following trips are tentatively planned for Summer 2012:
- Rock climbing on St. John's Ledge in Kent, CT
- Catamount Adventure Park in Hillsdale, NY
- Brownstone Adventure Park in Portland, CT
- Six Flags in Agawam, MA
Seniors live in cabins with up to seven campers and one counselor. Seniors will enjoy an opportunity to develop cooperative skills, form new friendships, learn new skills, and relax with friends in a peaceful atmosphere. Seniors enjoy privileges unique to this program and with the expectation that discipline will not be an issue.
Additional Information for Seniors
Seniors who wish to participate in horseback riding lessons may do so for one week only as seniors are away for the second week. There is an additional fee of $105 for adding one week of riding (5 lessons).
We suggest a store deposit of $65 for Traditional Seniors. This will take care of money for a night out to movies and amusement park trip. We suggest a store deposit of $75 for Cape Cod Seniors. This will take care of money for a night out to the movies and additional expenses at the Cape.
Only 21 Seniors are accepted into Day Trip Seniors and only 10 into Cape Cod Seniors each session.
