Campers with an interest in drama put on a production, getting involved with elements of the whole performance.
• Softball • Basketball • Soccer	• Lacrosse • Football
Horseback riding, one of camps most popular activities is headed by qualified personnel. Riding is offered only as an instructional choice, and does require an additional charge. Beginners are taught exclusively in the riding ring. For more advanced riders, horseback overnights are common, as well as learning all phases of horsemanship and stable management. All riders experience some of the 200-plus acres of wooded trails at Tanuga.
Low and High ropes / Group initiatives are also influential components of Camp Tanuga. Teaching children how to work together and solve problems is invaluable. Once a camper is 12 years old, he or she may participate in the high ropes challenge course. The high ropes course develops self confidence, trust and positive communication skills.

At Tanuga, Special Days occur at least once a week and are coordinated as an alternative to the everyday camp structure. We employ two Program Directors who focus their efforts on coordinating Special Days, evening programs and older camper late night programming. Special Days may include; cabin day, all-camp activities such as Carnivals, Olympic Day, Colorwar and competitions between neighboring camps.

Tanuga offers supervised programs each night for our campers. Activities may include campfires, hayrides, mock rock, night at the races and skit nights. We also offer special late-night social programs for our older campers. The staff-supervised activities are designed by the campers for the campers. Popular programs include coffee houses, poetry readings, interpersonal conversations, story telling and movies.
