In a typical week there are fifteen to twenty hours of instructional activities.  In the morning each camper has two hour length instructional periods in activities which he has selected to pursue for a week's time.  Two additional hours in the afternoon involve a mixture of  instructional activities and team sports. The idea is to provide each boy with an opportunity to try many things and to focus upon a few.

Wachusett's waterfront is an especially active and popular place.  Swimming, boating, canoeing, sailing, kayaking, and waterskiing offer terrific opportunities for a camper to strengthen his skills.  No less intriguing are the varied land activities which a camper may select.  Archery, riflery, woodshop, nature and campcraft, tennis, soccer and basketball may capitalize upon a boy's skills and interests or help him develop skills and interests he didn't realize he had.  A key element of the instructional program is to help a boy move along as far as his abilities and interests permit.
