Camp is run from 9am until 3pm everyday excluding Fridays when camp ends at noon, however we offer an optional activity each Friday afternoon that ends at 3pm. Our camp bus provides door-to-door transportation picking up campers between 8am and 9am and dropping them off between 3pm and 4pm.

Special Events - We hold many special events throughout the summer that have been a part of Cuamba history for decades and have the record books to prove it!
