Our campers will have up to 7 boys per cabin.

We maintain a ratio of 2 counselors very every 8 campers.

Our camp's capacity is about 100 campers per week. However, most campers experience camp within their age program. Campers can expect to be in large group settings with up to 50 boys their age. They will experience various skill activities in smaller groups of about 8 to 16.

Campers are age 6-16. The youngest age group is called Tree Climbers, which is a three-day Father & Son program for boys ages 6 and 7. At age 8, campers can attend a full week of Stockade camp. Then at age 12, campers move to our Battalion camp which goes up until the age of 16. At the age of 14, many of our campers opt-in for one of our trips or participate in our leaderhsip programs CORE Training and Service Crew.

We place campers with peers of a similar age. We try to honor cabin requests so long as it is mutual and the boys are of a similar age.

Helping boys overcome the challenge of homesickness is part of what we do. Camp is a wonderful opportunity for a camper to grow on his own. Our counselors are trained to validate their emotional response to be completely normal and give the camper coping mechanisms to help them learn and become stronger. Our administrative staff supports our counseling staff to ensure your son is encouraged and comfortable at camp.

Camp is about making friendships that can last a lifetime. Your son will spend time with boys his age while learning new skills and having his best summer ever. Often, a call from a parent produces an increase in homesickness. This is also true of visits to the camp. However, campers can receive mail, so we encourage parents to write often! You can also send a one-way email through our contact form, delivered to our campers during lunch and dinner.

Camp is a device-free zone. Campers engage and interact with the people and world around them by unplugging from these electronic distractions. This allows for healthy and rapid growth.

We offer dozens of activities for your son to be involved with including Rock Climbing, Rifle Shooting, Archery, Wood Working, Sailing, Fishing and much more.

We celebrate every birthday at camp. At dinner time on your son’s special day, the entire doing hall will sing the traditional birthday song while he blows out the candles on his ice cream sundae!

We have a wide variety of balanced meals which encourage our campers to try new things, while also maintaining a baseline of familiarity. Breakfast can include eggs, sausage, pancakes, fruit, and cereal. Lunch and dinner may include chicken, pasta, sandwiches, fish, mashed potatoes and vegetables.

Our kitchen crew can accommodate dietary needs. Any food allergies should be discussed before your son’s arrival to ensure that we can accommodate your son’s needs. Please get in touch with our Food Service Coordinator, Kelly Studley, for more information.
