Special Day Camp Activities Night Light:

Overnight:

Family Night:

A great intro for girls who wonder what camp is like at night without having to stay overnight. Girls get to stay late on Thursday nights of specific weeks to continue the camp fun.

What better way to keep camp going than staying overnight?

Overnights are held on Thursdays of specific weeks. This is the perfect opportunity for girls to spend their first night at camp.

This extended camp day will offer families the opportunity to experience the magic of Summer Camp together. Enjoy a dinner on us, try out our adventure activities, and see what makes our Summer Camps so special.

COVID Information By taking the necessary precautions over the last two summers, we were able to serve over 2,205 campers at our in-person and overnight camps with ZERO cases of COVID. Our extra safety measures allowed campers to continue building their independence and self-confidence in a safe and fun way while connecting and having fun with others. Whatever camp looks like in 2022, we are confident that you will experience all the benefits our camps have to offer.

The health and safety of our campers are always our first priority. Our in-person Summer Camps have extensive health and safety procedures and staff training in place every year.

With the ever-changing nature of COVID, we will be adapting our safety procedures to ensure the highest level of safety for our campers and staff. Any changes to our safety procedures will be informed by current recommendations of the New Jersey State Health Department, American Camp Association (ACA), and the considerations of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
