It’s Your Birthday, and You’re on a Trip!

Home · Blog · Birthday on a Trip

There is a special kind of luck in having your birthday fall during camp season — and at Marrowbone Creek, we make the most of it. The day starts with the birthday flag flying over the meadow and the whole camp singing before breakfast.

How We Celebrate

  • Birthday flag-raising with the camper’s bunk leading the song
  • A surprise from the craft barn, made in secret by bunkmates
  • Choice of the evening campfire game, plus first s’more
  • A phone call home with cake — parents are in on it too

Parents tell us these are the birthdays their children remember forever. If your camper’s big day lands inside a session, just note it in the booking form — the bunk counselors handle the rest.
