Each session at Camp Zanika has a different theme which enhances the camp experience, keeping activities new throughout the summer and encourages campers to expand their areas of interest.

The weekly themes are incorporated in activities, all camp activities, meals and more. 

AT CAMP ZANIKA WE WANT EVERY CAMPER TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES THAT INTEREST THEM REGARDLESS OF THE WEEKLY THEME, EACH WEEK WE OFFER A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES THAT ARE BOTH THEME CENTER AND NON-THEME RELATED.
