Glen Arden has a "progression system" which allows each camper to set her own pace within her activity schedule. Progressions are similar to Girl Scout badge work: there are five levels of proficiency beginning with:

• Clansman
• Woodgatherer
• Firebuilder
• Torchbearer
• and ultimately, Tender of the Flame

We offer instruction in many outdoor adventure activities, including horseback riding, and various popular land and water sports and an exceptional Performing Arts class.

Our activities are taught by our skilled staff members. A camper chooses the activities she wants to take and signs up for a regular schedule of three periods on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and three different classes on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. See apreview below of some of our activities.
