A day at Special Friends Camp begins with Bible study right after breakfast. The day's activities include music, swimming, arts and crafts, drama, sports and games. After supper, campers gather for a time of worship and praise. They sing and hear a short message from the camp pastor. The final event of each day is "fun spot", during which campers have opportunity to express their talents and gifts.
