Leave camp every day with a smile

Lower Camp

Tailor made for younger children, campers participate in a diverse range of fun activities, led by their caring counselors, and always in a safe environment. Whether they’re enjoying the creative experimentation of arts and crafts, the coordination-building skills of sports, or a harmonious singalong to camp songs, the children’s days are full of fun and excitement.

Special Activities Just for Lower Camp

Lower Camp campers also enjoy special activities developed just for them:

Lower Camp Program Options

We offer three program options for our younger campers. Each of our programs provides a well-organized, creative experience through a variety of activities that stimulate and nurture campers in these age groups. Children must be fully toilet trained in order to attend camp. Choose the program that best suits your camper and schedule.

We strive to have a balance of boys and girls in our groups. This impacts the number of spaces available for a given gender in each age group.
