Summer Programming @ Camp Naivelt
Every year our programming committee and cultural director work to develop and deliver a rich summer schedule of activities for the community. Traditionally most programming takes place on weekends, with some week long offerings, various pop ups, and Sunday bagel brunches with guest speakers on a variety of topics of interest to the community. In addition, Naivelters are fortunate to have weekly aquafit class in the Eldorado Park pool.
