ACTIVITIES
Activities at Mullins Camp make the fun. Our exciting activities are always supervised by skilled and trained staff. We have the right equipment and great staff to provide a safe, fun, and genuine camp experience. Our philosophy of non-competitive camp with fun wilderness trips focuses on the individual's experience and community formation. We want everyone to have fun, learn new skills, and grow as people. Camp provides a great place to socialize and interact in a safe and secure setting.
The activities at Mullins Camp focus each person on the group as a community and build upon themselves. We run each activity to progress at the kids' level of understanding for fun. We believe each kid learns more and contributes more if they are having fun.
