The purpose of Cabin Activities is to promote cabin unity as you challenge yourself and participate in an imaginative new activity that you might not be able to do anywhere else outside of camp.  Anything you can imagine, you can bring to life at Camp Augusta, and Cabin Activities are the time to do that.

In this page, we encourage you to play, to explore, to get inspired, and to imagine up some creative new adventures that you might want to create when you come to camp!
