2026 Summer Camp Guide

242 Adelphia Road, Farmingdale

133 Jones Road, Barnegat Township

03 | About 04 | Activities & Open House Sessions

This summer, we welcomed more than 1,000 campers to Camp Sacajawea and Camp Amity Acres for our 2026 camp season.

These young adventurers embraced the wonders of nature, discovered new passions, and enjoyed activities like archery, boating, ziplining, and STEAM projects. Our camps offer something for everyone—providing a much-needed break from screens and a chance to reconnect with creativity, the outdoors, and each other.

07 | Weekly Schedule

From sunshine-filled days to campfire nights, campers spent their time laughing, singing, learning, and making lifelong memories. We take immense pride in seeing girls grow in such an empowering environment—taking on new challenges, building leadership skills, and gaining the confidence to be their authentic selves.

08 | Leadership Opportunities & After Camp Adventures

For me, the best part of every summer is witnessing campers boldly step into new experiences—whether leading a scavenger hunt, diving into hands-on STEM activities, or training to become future camp counselors.

09 | Amazing Savings & Camp Pricing

For more than 50 years, Camp Amity Acres and Camp Sacajawea have been more than summer destinations—they’ve been spaces where girls unlock their potential, grow in confidence, and create memories that last a lifetime.
