• Meals, accommodations, and supervision included
• Practice Time*
• Swim time
• Friday night games and popcorn
• Saturday night movie and ice cream — Union College provides transportation to the movie theatre which is within 2 miles of the college

*Practice time is available for the campers but the directors have noticed over the years campers like to take the weekend to rest. The weekly activities and dancing can be tiring, and we encourage the weekend campers to rest their bodies as much as possible.
