An American tradition.
What is summer camp?
The first American summer camps were located in eastern states like New York, and we've now got camps in all 50 states.
American camps have always been about escaping into the wilderness, learning new skills, and developing a community of like-minded people.

You can do just about anything at camp.
Since the 1860s, campers have been enjoying activities like fishing, boating, and climbing at camp. Now, there are more activities than ever.
There's something for everyone, so you're guaranteed to have a summer to remember.
Each camp has it's own unique traditions. Wherever you end up, you'll be following a well-worn trail of summers gone by.
