Overnight Camp

(Ages 8+ by January 1, 2026)

Any youth ages 8-16 by January 1st who is able to follow the camp schedule and participate in programming safely and independently is welcome to attend.

Accommodations

Campers are housed in rustic cabins with other campers their own age and with a camp counselor or two. Campers are required to work together to keep these living arrangements clean and orderly during the week. Cabins will be inspected daily by the Camp Nurse.

Note: Our cabins do not have electricity or running water, please send a flashlight with extra batteries.

Cabinmates

Campers may select one friend to bunk with when coming to camp. In order to be cabinmates, campers must be of the same sex, age, and grade in school. You may not request counselors.

In order for us to honor cabinmates, campers must be sure to list each other on both of their applications.

Please note that being cabinmates means campers would be in the same cabin, but does not guarantee that they will be in the same platoon group or classes. There are many times at camp to see friends (recreation periods, activity time, cabin time, etc), so we encourage campers to try and spend a little time away; this provides them an opportunity to meet new friends while at camp.
