From soccer to sponge tag, campers head to the activity of their choice for skill building and fun! Soccer, Softball, Lacrosse, basketball and Rounders are just a few of the sports talented counselors come to camp ready to teach hivers.

The archery range is set in a beautiful spot in the woods. Girls learn and practice skills on both beginning lower targets and regulation distance targets. From learning all the safety procedures to enjoying ad tournament with each other, campers have many chance to head to archery.

Horseback Riding at Aloha Hive takes place at Open Acre Ranch, a local stable ten minutes from Hive.  It is owned and operated by an experienced equestrian, Rebecca Guillette.  Rebecca, her staff, facilities and horses provide a nice riding program for Hive campers.  Campers at all riding levels will have the opportunity to take lessons and learn skills on a trail ride.  We suggest that your daughter sign up for no more than two riding lessons per week.  Experience has shown us that when girls are out of camp often during each week, they miss some of the important relationship building time with other campers and the community.  If you have questions about this, please email Director Kathy Plunkett. To sign up for horseback riding, please complete the form below and send with your check (made out to Open Acre Ranch) to the Aloha Foundation office.
