The camp offers two main program tracks: the Main Camp for rising 2nd through 8th graders, and the re-introduced Counselor-In-Training (CIT) Program for rising 9th-12th graders seeking leadership development opportunities. Both programs feature a diverse range of outdoor and experiential activities designed to build confidence and foster community. Campers enjoy access to the beautiful natural environment including Phoenix Tower climbing, campfire activities, fire rings, picnic shelter activities, and outdoor camping experiences. The adjacent Dan Nicholas Park provides additional recreational opportunities, creating a comprehensive outdoor education experience.
Special features of the facility include year-round operation with winterized cabins, ensuring quality programming throughout the seasons.
