Bogrim
(Rising 8th-9th graders)

Bogrim (graduates) are our 8th and 9th graders—and they’re a force to be reckoned with at Kingswood!

The Bogrim unit is designed to allow campers to feel empowered to take ownership of their experience, with more choice, deeper programs and projects, and more privileges, like hang-out time after evening program and a later bedtime! Once in Bogrim, campers are invited to go beyond our typical elective day to design their own independent projects based on their passions and interests. Camper projects have included creating a mural on a showerhouse, assisting in our health center, and learning about sports journalism with our media team. Bogrim staff bring lots of experience working with younger teens, and they understand that in Bogrim, your friends are everything. Bunk dynamics are more important than ever, and Bogrim staff are trained to be tuned in to the needs of each individual camper and the group as a whole. They are experts at striking a balance between offering guidance and encouraging independence and leadership.

Whether it’s telling stories around a campfire, performing at the Talent Show, or just chilling at the waterfront, Bogrim campers know more than anyone that camp is what you make it!
