Sub 5 & Camp Shaw Offerings
Trails- Several trails run through the grounds, with open fields for drills and games. We have many trails for the campers to run on as well. Camp Benson is the location of one of the largest Adventure Running Campetitions in the US.
Stream- Bring a swimsuit! A cool stream runs through the center of camp to offer a great ice-down after a hard workout. Athletes will have recovery and recreation time in the stream.
High Ropes and Zip Line- This unique newly designed high ropes course is action packed. A training course is required prior to taking it on. At the end the campers will Zip down accross the grounds.
Hiking, Caving, Repelling, Mt. Climbing, Kayaking, Tubbing, etc-If challenge is what you are in for SUB5 is now offering it. Camp Bensons staff will lead each camper through different challenging activites never offered before by SUB5. Your camper will come home not just physically challenged by the sport but also by the different mental and physical challenges of the other activities.
Pool- The pool is off grounds and the campers will be transported there by bus. Located just a mile and a half from the campus.
Mountain Biking- Camp Benson offers Mt. bikes so the camper does not need to bring their own; helmets are required!
Sub 5 Activities- We all love running, but "Sing For Your Mail", "Crazy Shorts Day", "Crazy Sock Day", "Skit Night" and much more take it to a whole new level!
