Camper Safety:
At camp, we take camper safety very seriously. Click below to learn how we keep kids safe.
This was our first year sending our daughter to camp on the Blairstown campus and she absolutely loved it and wants to go back again next year.
The staff was communicative and extremely reassuring. The registration process and first day of camp instructions were super easy to follow. My child had a blast and learned essential lessons he’ll use along his life.
Lake in the Woods is amazing! Our son, John Joseph, absolutely loves it - every day is an adventure for him. He has made lasting friendships :)
My daughter raved about her two weeks at Lake in the Woods. She had a variety of activities to choose from each day as well as a special evening activity that she looked forward to each night. The weekend break during the two week session was the perfect introduction to sleep away for our family. The experience certainly gave her greater confidence and a stronger sense of independence.
