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.

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.

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!
