Summer Camp 2010

Eleven specialty camps, scheduled during four weeks of Summer 2010, await campers ranging in age from 6 to 12 at Camp Butter & Egg. Campers may choose which weeklong, specialty camp they’ll attend during the morning hours of camp, followed by a mix of recreation options for the combined groups of campers after lunch. You asked for it, we delivered: football camp will be offered this summer, along with a new concentration in cheerleading. Familiar specialties such as softball, baseball, soccer, golf, and tennis will continue to be offered as in past years. Use our new, convenient, on-line system to register and pay for camp. As always, we welcome your questions and concerns regarding Camp Butter & Egg.

Camp Butter & Egg offers a unique blend of specialized sports skills (baseball, softball, soccer, etc.) training sessions in combination with traditional leisure activities associated with summer day camp--canoeing, challenge courses (low ropes), swimming, and team games to name a few.  A privately owned day camp and recreation center, Camp Butter & Egg is located on an inviting, 40-acre setting in Troy, AL just off Butter & Egg Road (thus, the name). Some camp sessions focus on team-building and personal development without attention to specific athletic skills training. Additionally, Camp Butter & Egg can design a mini-camp experience to meet the needs of your particular group.

Recreational Opportunities

Camp Butter & Egg staff members lead campers in a variety of activities daily. From mini-golf to bocce ball to kickball, traditional games are interspersed with team challenges designed to allow campers to experience different types of recreation. In our 40-acre setting, campers can move easily between waterfront activities such as canoeing and fishing to participating in obstacle courses or cooling off indoors with arts and crafts projects.

Camp Butter & Egg offers the area’s only ACCT*-designed challenge course complete with low-ropes elements as well as a 35-foot climbing wall. Participants have the opportunity to traverse new terrain and learn how to effectively work as a team member as they maneuver through challenges constructed with poles, cables, balance beams and rope. Campers also continue developing team-building skills through hands-on activities, away from the ropes course, led by well-trained, thoughtful staff members who seek to bring out the best in every participant.
