Theme Weeks
Each week at Lincoln Summer Camp we have a theme that permeates all our activities and events.
Dress Up Days
For each theme we have a dress up day and costume contest that has everyone wearing silly costumes.
Weekly Puzzle
On Mondays, campers are introduced to a puzzle of the week to solve. Throughout the week they will get clue pieces from each special, if they collect all the pieces they can put together the puzzle for a prize.
Talk About It Tuesday
On Tuesdays, campers are invited to bring in their unique ideas to camp to to share with others! There will be bring in a Would you Rather question, tell a riddle, tell a joke, and make up a new idea for a cheer or sports game for camp.
Daily Events
Everyday at camp Epic Adventures are planned that incorporate the theme. Each week we offer events in the following categories:
Water
Water events have our campers getting wet and wacky. Water balloon fights and water blaster battles are favorite special events in this category. Giant water slides and Jumbo Slip and Slide are also favorites.
The Arts
Each week campers have the chance to storm the stage as we gather together as a camp community for Lincoln Live! Lincoln Live is LSC’s weekly variety show. In this raucous environment we cheer, sing, dance, and even have trivia competitions. Campers and counselors alike enjoy performing for the camp in act they’ve devised on their own.
Amusements
When it’s time for amusements at camp, you can feel the excitement in the air. What could be more fun than getting a chance to dunk your counselor in the dunk tank? Maybe riding down a giant, inflatable water slide or jumping around with friends in a bounce house. Each week will offer something new for the delight of campers.
Annual Camp Events
Color War
For one special week each summer Color Wars come to camp. Throughout the week, campers compete in competitions where they are broken up in four color teams: the Red Team, Blue Team, Orange Team, and the Green Team. On Monday, campers meet with their captains and counselors for the first time. They get colored bandanas to show their team pride and learn color-themed chants and cheers to show their spirit. Then the games begin, from sports to trivia, to dances and cheers, points can be earned all week for your color team. The week culminates with a series of final whole team competitions. Campers compete in a series of relay races and then the final challenge: tug-o-war.
