Games and Activites

A.W.O.L.

A.W.O.L. is an exciting game where campers try to hide from their counselors for an allotted amount of time.  If the campers can do this without being discovered they get out of doing work areas for a day!  So bring your camouflage, and (in the voice of Elmer Fudd) "be vewy, vewy quiet."  

Capture The Flag

This perennial summer camp game is a favorite at Camp STIX, and a definite part of its tradition and X-citement.  Join the action by helping your team defend their territory, take prisoners, and capture the other team's flag.  The coolest part about it: you even get a refreshing Popsicle halfway though because at Camp STIX, we keep things cool!

Cream the Counselor

Campers get to vote on which counselors, junior counselor, and DISH and MASH crew members they'd like to see receive a nice cream pie in the face, or on their head... Not to worry, we use the sugar-free whipped cream! 

The Camp Dance

This classic Thursday night tradition has everyone dressing up in their finest yearly theme garb, and at Camp STIX we know how to shake em on down! Toothbrush..check, shampoo..check, dancin' shows...definite check!

Rollin' Down the River 

Camp Bear Paw, where Camp STIX takes place, is located on the majestic Pend Oreille River, offering gorgeous scenery, canoeing, and swimming.   

Party in the Pool!   

Not much swimming goes on in this pool.  At Camp STIX, it's all about splishin' and a splashin', dunkin' your counselor (to let them know how much you love them), and serious cannon balls off the diving board! 

 Campfire  

Camp STIX prides itself on its stellar camp fire programs.  Come belt a "tune" with us as we sing songs at the top of our lungs, hip hop to the dance routines, enjoy hilarious skits and crazy contests, all by illumination of a robust campfire.  A grand time for all concerned, and a definite highlight of Camp STIX!

Arts and Crafts 

Did you know type 1 diabetics are super creative?  Well, at least at Camp STIX they are.  We offer fun and interesting arts and crafts projects that let your creative side shine on.  Shine on, friends, shine on.    

Special Guests 

Ya never know who might drop by Camp STIX, anyone from a State Patrolman with type 1 diabetes to share about following your dreams with diabetes, to a little rock n' roll band like say, The Beatles!

Counselor's Ghost 

In this thrilling game the counselors run for their lives as they are hunted down by seething and tenacious campers.  Counselors, kicking and screaming like little girly men, are overpowered by the collective might of the campers, who drag them to the river, and receive great satisfaction by throwing them in!    

Talent Show 

Year in and year out it never fails that Camp STIX has some serious talent.  You can be sure there will be an outstanding talent show production featuring our campers performing anything from magic tricks, dance recitals and musical numbers, to even telling "Your mama" jokes.  At Camp STIX everyone's a star!
