Evenings at Camp Shohola add another meaningful layer to the camp experience. After a full day of activities, campers enjoy a wide variety of evening programs that allow them to relax, connect with friends, and try something new. Families from New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey value Camp Shohola’s evening program because it balances excitement, choice, and downtime in a way that feels natural and age-appropriate.

Evening activities are designed to be flexible, giving campers the freedom to choose how they want to spend their time while still feeling part of the camp community.

A Mix of Energy, Choice, and Relaxation

Many evening activities at Camp Shohola are optional, allowing campers to follow their interests and energy levels. Some nights feature organized events such as intramural sports tournaments, green and white competitions, movie nights, or dances with our sister camp. These events create shared experiences that help campers build friendships and lasting memories.

On other evenings, campers may choose quieter options. A camper might go evening boating or fishing, throw a frisbee on the hill with friends, write a letter home, or spend time reading on the deck. Some enjoy playing chess with a buddy or simply talking and unwinding after a busy day.

Open Activities and Special Opportunities

On select evenings, counselors may open specific activity areas to give campers extra time to explore their interests. This might include the ropes course, allowing campers to climb and challenge themselves, or an arts area where a camper can spend additional time working on a project. These opportunities give boys more control over their experience and encourage independence and curiosity.

Building Community After the Day Ends

Evening activities play an important role in building the Camp Shohola community. Whether participating in a large group event or enjoying quiet time with friends, campers learn to make choices, respect others’ interests, and appreciate both active and calm moments. These shared evenings help campers feel comfortable, connected, and at home.

A Meaningful Part of the Shohola Experience

Evenings at Camp Shohola are thoughtfully designed to complement the daytime program. Alongside land sports, watersports, outdoor adventure, equestrian, Commtech, and arts activities, evening programs help create a well-rounded camp experience that supports social growth, independence, and lasting friendships.

Families from New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey appreciate Camp Shohola’s ability to offer evenings that are engaging, flexible, and enjoyable for every camper.
