Daily Schedule
There is an intentionally balanced pace to our days, and when we do something is just as important as what we do.
Within each day, there are times for activity and times for rest, times for structure, and times for leisure. Within each week, there are regularly scheduled days and Special Event days, high energy days, and a day to rest.

Days at Camp DeSoto are governed by the bell.
It rings to send girls to and from activities, to invite them to meals in the dining hall, to signal time for a rest in the middle of busy days, and to welcome them to their cabins for devotions and a good night’s sleep. And the bell schedule becomes a familiar friend, guiding Camp days and protecting our rhythms of rest and play.
Starting the day at Morning Watch and ending in Cabin Devotions helps us bookend each day by turning our attention to God, in expectancy and gratitude. Scheduled meals keep us going, scheduled downtimes helps us recharge and reconnect. Daily routines provide stability that campers need and help us tune into the natural rhythms around us.
