Our schedule caters to each age group from Kiddie Kastle to Teens:
Kiddie Kastle offer our youngest campers from pre-K to Kindergarten a structured nurturing environment to develop social skills, build confidence and have new experiences like riding on the pontoon boat, instructional swim from licensed swim instructors in age specific heated pools, arts and crafts, sports, mad science and time to play in our awesome playgrounds.
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.
