Outing Highlights

THE FIELD

A large, flexible meadow for sport and play

An open, grassy meadow designed to accommodate virtually any sport or activity you choose, offering a blank canvas for teams, drills, games, and free play.

THE NEIGHBOR

Located beside the Challenge Course

The sports field sits adjacent to the camp’s Challenge Course — a proximity that expands programming options but comes with a clear access restriction for the course itself.

THE VIBE

Freedom to play and create memories

The meadow is described as an inviting outdoor environment where visitors can unleash energy and creativity and make lasting memories during informal or organized activities.

What the day feels like

What the experience feels like

The experience is essentially open-ended: a large meadow at Camp Martha Johnston that functions as a multipurpose field for sports, games, and unstructured outdoor play. Its location beside the Challenge Course places it within the larger camp setting, offering straightforward, flexible space for groups and individuals.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this space suits — and the one access caveat to keep in mind.

1
Scout troops and organized youth groupsWell suited to scout groups and organized youth programming that can incorporate open-field activities; groups that intend to use the Challenge Course should ensure it is reserved and that a certified adult is present.
2
School teams and club groupsA straightforward option for teams needing a large, flexible outdoor surface for practice or games; proximity to the Challenge Course expands options only if the course is reserved and properly supervised.
3
Families and casual groupsGood for family playdates or casual gatherings that want open space for running, games, and informal activities; use of the adjacent Challenge Course remains subject to reservation and certified supervision.
4
Unsupervised youth or drop-in usersThe meadow itself is an open area for activity, but users should be aware that any intended use of the Challenge Course requires reservation and a certified adult — unsupervised access to that course is not permitted.
