Main Camp for our 1st – 7th graders starts with a more structured schedule for younger campers and progresses to a “choice” based day where campers individually design a larger portion of their camp day.
Teen Camp for 7th – 9th graders fill their days at camp with 100% choice-based programming, with exciting opportunities from Sports Leagues, Theater and Set Design, to more technical activities such as Video Editing, and much more. To top it off, once a week, teens enjoy day trips to destinations such as Camelback Adventure Park, Point Pleasant or Broadway to take in a show. The ultimate Teen experience is through our overnight trips. Great destinations, fun, and friendship lead to amazing growth in life skills, independence and maturity.
LakeView Leadership Program (LVLP), offers a select group the opportunity to learn the essential skills needed to be a LakeView staff member. Campers must apply for this 6-week minimum program that includes the full teen travel program and a daily choice activity schedule.
