Conducted on a 220-acre site on the shores of Lake Vernon, Tawingo's daily program includes an interest group period, afternoon recreational options and allotments of free time. Interest groups emphasize skill acquisition in the areas of nature, camp craft, swimming, canoeing and tripping. In the evening, campers participate in various recreational activities that are either campwide or organized by cabin group, age group or gender. Among these evening pursuits are campfires, musical productions, pioneer activities and crafts, night hikes and sporting events.
