Evening Activities

Many campers say that evening programs are their FAVORITE thing about Camp Cheerio. Held after dinner each night, these games are played by everyone in camp and are a great way to end the day.

Spy-Hunter

Cabins are assigned to either the red, white, or blue team, and then each team splits up into cells of 4-5 campers and a counselor and is given either a backpack or a water gun. Cells with backpacks must attempt to reach bases safely to earn points, but watch out for the water gun cells because if you’re caught you have to forfeit your backpack and go hunt for another one.

Campfire

After a cookout dinner head down to the lake where we will light a magic campfire and watch as each cabin performs a short skit, song, or dance.

One night, camp is temporarily overrun with dinosaurs! While usually very friendly animals, if your cabin tries to steal their egg (a watermelon), you better run like the wind back to the gym!
