We are tech-free, determined to help our campers grow in character through outdoor experience and strive for a family-like atmosphere.

We are also open to trades if you have any family interested in attending camp. Travel compensation is available depending on the distance traveled to camp. Our small camp size, with a camper population typically between 100-120 campers per session, makes for a manageable and enjoyable workload. All camp counselor staff are certified in CPR/First Aid, and the nearest urgent care and hospital/ER is 10 minutes away.
