Resident Camps

Resident campers can expect to spend the week in either the East or West area of Camp.  Campers will sleep in cabins and eat most meals in the dining room.  Older campers can expect to cook out one meal and have one sleep out.  All campers will be placed in Family Groups that are comprised of approximately 12-16 campers and two adult counselors.

All resident camps are listed below in order of camper age – youngest to oldest.  Please read the descriptions carefully.  While they are all considered resident camps, several of the camps have a special emphasis as well.

Most camps are a week long.  Please take note that there are shorter camps offered for the youngest campers and a longer week of camp is offered for the Youth Musical. 

REMINDER: Unless otherwise indicated, camper pick up is at 7 pm on FRIDAY.
