Home on the Range Week: Come to your home away from home, Camp Civitan! This week we will enjoy the best of our camp activities, including a visit to Bearizona to see those deer and antelope play, a hayride, a sing along by the campfire, horseback riding through the range, a wild west BBQ with western entertainment, western leather crafts inspired by local native Americans and western Karaoke. We�ll close out the week with a line dance to the best of country music. Seldom is heard a discouraging word and the sky is not cloudy all day at Camp Civitan!
Wild West Week: Welcome to our ranch on the American frontier, in a dusty little town the locals call Williams. Frontier towns like Williams, situated at the edge of civilization, can be dangerous places. Our particular town is often beset by outlaws. These bandits will roll into town taking gold, money and food before riding back out to the range. The Sheriff needs to deputize a few good men and women to restore order. Join us for a week filled with crackling campfires under the western moon, gold rush days, cowboys and outlaws, the Cowpuncher�s Rodeo, horseback riding and an old-fashioned hoedown barn dance on Sunday.
The 7 Wonders of the World Week: Join us for a whirlwind trip around the world as we travel to each of the 7 Natural Wonders�with a little help from our imaginations! We will begin our trip at Arizona�s own Wonder, the Grand Canyon, as we travel to the canyon and experience the Wonder first hand. Each day we will travel to a new country by experiencing the food, games and music from each new worldly destination. We will visit the Mount Everest, Canada�s Victoria Falls, the Great Barrier Reef, Mexico�s Paricutin Volcano, and many more exciting destinations on our grand adventure. Come experience all the world has to offer during the 7 Wonders of the World week at Camp Civitan.
Wet and Wild Patriotic Week: This week we�ll be splishin� and a-splashin�, movin� and a-groovin� and rockin� and a-rollin� as we celebrate the joy of being American. Being American in July means splashing down a slip-n-slide, barbecues with hot dogs and ice cold coke, and parades down Main Street. In honor of this one-of-a-kind heritage, we will have wild and wet activities each day including water slides, a trip to the Williams aquatic center, water games, and many beautiful and extraordinary outdoor adventures here at Camp Civitan. For the icing on the cake (or the ice cream on the apple pie), our campers will ride on a festive float in the Williams 4th of July Parade. Come discover what makes America Great! Join us for a wild week of water games and patriotic wacky fun. You are sure to find plenty of ways to beat the heat during this very wet, very wild celebration of America!
Hollywood Week: Lights, camera, CAMPING! We�re rolling out the red carpet for you at our Hollywood Gala on Sunday night. Don�t settle for 15 minutes of fame, come to camp for a whole week of stardom! Camp Civitan is proud to present the first annual Camp Civitan Film Festival! Campers will participate in writing, scripting, creating costumes and filming a movie. We will edit the film and have our own movie premier on Saturday night at the big stage in town. We will also perform some live skits at our big red carpet Gala event along with our screening in Williams. Come let your inner star shine! Each camper will come home with a copy of our finished movie to share with family and friends.
Holidaze Week: Welcome to Camp Civitan, where every day is a holiday and every meal is a feast. This week we�ve taken the best days of the entire year and put them into a single week. We'll celebrate Easter with eggtastic activities, Halloween with costumed glory, Thanksgiving feasts and traditions, Christmas inspired games, and end the week with a blowout New Year�s Eve ball. Come celebrate the best of the year�s Holidaze in one week!
Girls Only Diva Week: Girls only week is a great opportunity to spend quality time with other girls and make new, lifelong friends. It is a chance to develop new skills and build self-confidence through exciting and challenging activities that encourage teamwork. Have fun with your new friends, and indulge in all things girly. Come and experience spa day, a chocolate fondue party, Death by Chocolate murder mystery, chick flicks and our PJ fashion show. Come join in on all things feminine and let your inner Diva Shine!
Boys Only Adventure Week: Come strut your inner man and bask in the joy of a girl free zone. You will spend the week learning to fish, becoming an expert at building a campfire, picking up some clubs and learning to golf, and getting your hands on a bow and arrow and learning about archery. Finally, we�ll cap off the week with a visit to Flagstaff to see the Cardinals Training camp. Come experience Camp Civitan�s �man cave� and bond with other men!
