Camper Dorm Groups
Campers live together in a dorm during camp. These dorm groups become closer throughout the week as friends and teammates; they participate in many group discussions together, group activities, and also compete with other dorms!
Below are photos from the Final Banquet of the dorm groups from Heartland Camp’s 2022 session (2G, 3G, 2B, and 3B).
