Camps / Sleep Away Camp

One Week. New Friends.
Endless Memories.

At our ACA-accredited summer Sleep Away Camps, kids don’t just hike trails or roast marshmallows—they discover who they are when they’re climbing higher, cheering louder, and laughing harder than they ever have before.

What to Expect

Picture cabins under the pines, new best friends by your side, and days packed with challenge, discovery, and joy. This is camp the way it should be—immersive, outdoorsy, and unforgettable.

Summer Camp

Campers head to Camp Marcil or Camp Whittle for week-long adventures packed with swimming, hiking, climbing, arts & crafts, team games, and campfire traditions. Each camper is part of an age-based cabin (10 kids max, 2 counselors) that builds community from day one.

Winter Camp

In December, campers head back to Camp Whittle for a snowy escape filled with sledding, arts and crafts, and all the classic camp magic—with extra layers.
