Camp Olympia

Outdoor Adventure

Olympia’s Outdoor Adventure classes provide campers with an opportunity to try activities that they may not have ever tried before or do not routinely have access to enjoy.  As the Outdoor Adventure name implies, these activity offerings allow campers to experience activities out in nature where they come away with a greater appreciation of the world around them.

Experience the FUN of the Great Outdoors!

Archery

See if you can hit the bull’s-eye! Archery is an activity that has been available at camp since the beginning, with many campers shooting their first bow and arrow at Olympia. Our Archery Range, Sherwood Forest, has two lines so many campers can enjoy this activity at once.

Biking

Fishing is a great, relaxing activity at Olympia. Campers fish in stocked ponds out on the golf course as well as near the heart of camp. They use a variety of baits with the hopes of catching the biggest fish.
