Information on Camping 2009 CIT & Summer Camp Application Forms CAMP GLENBURN-Summer Programs The Glenburn summer camp program emphasizes fun, adventure, creativity, cooperation, friendships, learning and imagination. Residential campers live in cabins of 8-10 campers with 2 counselors. Our 6-day "Discoverers" program provides an excellent introduction for the first time camper or those younger campers who may be a little nervous about leaving home. The 13 day "Explorers" program is designed to provide a more challenging opportunity for campers as they become older or more comfortable in the residential camp setting. Interest Groups Out-trips All campers will have the opportunity to enjoy an overnight out-trip. "Discoverers" campers are introduced to out-tripping with a short hike, paddle or, for our younger campers, a sleep-out on camp property. "Explorers" campers travel further with trips ranging from 24 to 48 hours.
