Navigators (Grades 5-8)
The Rolling River Navigator Division includes campers entering grades 5 – 8 and the outcome for Navigator campers is to embark on a voyage of exploration. The Navigator Division is the perfect combination of a traditional summer camp experience and exciting travel program. This popular program sets the standard for creativity in day camping by allowing campers to explore their personal passions both on and off-campus.
Grouping
Navigator campers are placed in groups based on their incoming grade and gender.
- Group sizes range from approximately 22-30 campers.
- Each group is assigned a dedicated, adult head counselor and 2 or 3, college-aged assistant counselors.
- All Navigator head counselors possess a NYS Commercial Drivers License and are responsible for transporting groups to off-campus activities and local day trips.
