Youth Resident Camps

This offering is the heart of our program.

Members of our Camp Community attend from our locality and region; and our focus is on making genuine friendships.

The 2026 theme is Reverse! As we celebrate out 128th year, we will imagine traveling back in time to 128 BCE. As we do, we will have fun creating alternative pasts, heroes, and stories!

Campers enjoy daily activities such as swimming, boating, sailing, challenge course, arts, sports, adventure, "Choice," hikes, campfires, and much more. Each week delivers a fun sub-theme, forest hiking, Teen Camp, and two-week Leadership Training (LIT) sessions.

Campers may choose to attend from one to nine sessions. Weekend stay-over programs between consecutive sessions are available.

Our 2026 season will run from June 14-August 19. See programs below for specific session dates.
