A Day at Baco
From waking up with bunkmates to a day filled with sports, waterfront adventures, and time with friends, life at Baco is full of energy, excitement, and tradition.
Our days have a familiar structure, but no two are ever exactly alike! Our boys participate in a wide variety of activities with their age groups, receiving expert instruction as they try new things, discover new interests, and build skills in areas they already love. Our schedules are still created by hand, just as they've been for generations, bringing something different to every day.
Here's a glimpse into what a typical day at Baco looks like!
Mornings at Baco
For our early risers, the day starts at 7 AM with the Marshfellows! Boys who are ready to get out of bed can enjoy hot chocolate and marshmallows while playing cards and games with friends.
Once the day's schedule goes up, everyone heads in for breakfast. Afterward, it's back to the bunks for cleanup and getting ready for a full day of activities!
Activity Periods
Each day includes three morning and three afternoon activity periods, giving our boys plenty of opportunities to explore everything Baco has to offer.
As campers grow older, they have increasing opportunities to choose their own electives and spend additional time pursuing their interests. Leagues, intercamps, and tournaments add another dimension to the Baco experience, offering opportunities for friendly competition, teamwork, and representing their camp.
Lunch, Free Play & Afternoons
After a busy morning, everyone comes together for lunch before heading out for free play. During this time, a variety of activities around camp are open, giving our boys the freedom to choose what they'd like to do and enjoy some unstructured time with friends.
Then it's time for activity periods 3–6, with an afternoon full of sports, waterfront adventures, and plenty of fun!
Evenings at Baco
The fun doesn't stop when the afternoon ends! After dinner, our boys come together for evening activities that might include camp-wide games, performances, special events, or time with their age group.
After evening activity, the boys head to the terrace for the third (and favorite!) snack of the day: milk and cookies. Sometimes there's music playing, but there's always plenty of conversation as everyone hangs out, talks about their day, and enjoys some time together before heading back to their bunks to shower and get ready for lights out.
