Lindenmere is…Choice!
It’s all about choice. Your choice! TOTAL CHOICE! Lindenmere’s program is on the cutting edge of summer camp. Campers work with their counselors and specialty staff to select the activities they want and love. This makes each and every day challenging, unique and fun.
Lindenmere is…Elective!
Lindenmere campers choose both majors and minors to construct their perfect day. With over fifty electives to choose from and a team of dedicated specialty staff, we ensure the success and growth of all of our campers.
MAJORS!
Majors are selected before the beginning of each session. They are instructional and goal oriented. Major programs often culminate in a performance or production. Athletic Majors participate in competitive events.
MINORS!
Minors are chosen daily. They are instructional or recreational. Minors allow campers to experience a diverse array of activities.
Camp Lindenmere, a private, coed, residential camp located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, has been on the cutting edge of camping since 1935. A comfortable 90 miles from New York City and Philadelphia, Lindenmere is nestled on 175 acres consisting of beautiful woodlands, playing fields, numerous indoor buildings and miles of trails used for hiking, riding and biking. Our modern bunks each have electricity and individual bathrooms and showers and the spacious Dining Room provides each camper a wide selection of food choices.
Our unique program offers campers structured, individualized choice. By recognizing the specific needs and interests of each camper, Lindenmere has developed a special sense of community filled with high self-esteem and long lasting friendships. With the help of our mature staff, campers are able to select their entire schedule and focus on activities they want to take part in. Add in weekly trips off camp, special events, outside performers/shows and exciting evening activities and it is easy to see why our campers never want to leave!

The Sports Complex consists of immaculate fields and new courts, while our Art Center is home to over 15 different art specialties! The 10,000 square foot Lindenmere Dome is our covered sports complex which can house a variety of sports. A newly added field complex is home a regulation soccer and football field along with a new 6,000 square foot state of the art skatepark. Our Outdoor Adventure program is highlighted with a cutting edge design of 20 low and high ropes elements complimented by a Climbing Tower and Zip Line. Other popular facilities/programs include Theatre, Rock Shop, Circus, Flying Trapeze, Canoeing, Kayaking, Horseback Riding, Skateboarding, Cooking, Dance, Gymnastics, Fitness Center, Archery and multiple Go-Karts tracks.
We are looking for staff that love working with children and enjoy being part of a team. Our staff is fun, friendly, caring and enthusiastic, yet they understand how important safety and responsibility are to our community.
Since our program is based upon individual achievement and individual growth, we pride ourselves on providing specific attention to the needs of our campers and staff. In doing so, we have created a camp community that is warm, caring and nurturing. Returning staff love to see their old friends, while they open their arms to meeting new staff and introducing them to the Lindenmere culture.
Our directors are always available and easy to approach. We take a hands-on approach and give you all the tools you need to have a successful summer. We continue to support our staff throughout the summer and we empower you to create a program that reflects Lindenmere’s cutting edge philosophy. We are proud that both our campers and staff have helped to create such a welcoming, comfortable and friendly atmosphere. The friendships that form at Lindenmere extend well past the last day of camp each summer…
Most Lindenmere staff has dual roles. Each of our staff spends the activity portion of the day teaching a specific activity and as general counselors during other times. As a general counselor, your main concern is to create a memorable and safe summer for your campers. You will live with a group of campers and ensure their physical and emotional safety. You will laugh and grow with them throughout the summer and act as a positive role model. This will truly be the greatest “job” you will ever have.
How many people in each bunk?
Each bunk houses 8-12 campers with two to three counselors. The cabins are equipped with modern conveniences such as full bath facilities, including hot and cold running water, ample electrical outlets and storage space for clothing
When do the campers pick their activities?
Majors are chosen before campers arrive at camp. The three minors are chosen at breakfast each morning and may vary from day to day.
Do campers ever get turned away from an activity they choose?
Never. A full time program director spends the day working with each child's schedule.
How many people in each activity?
Sometimes a child chooses a private lesson which is one-on-one with an instructor. Most activities have between eight to twelve children.
How does the laundry work?
Every camper's laundry is done in our own facility once a week and returned the following day. The laundry for each cabin is kept together and the children sort their laundry with the aid of their counselors upon its return.
Do you have a doctor in camp?
We have a doctor and three registered nurses during each session. Our infirmary is staffed twenty four hours per day.
Are campers put into bunks by age or grade?
Campers are usually grouped in cabins by grade. Sometimes parents will request a placement by age. If your child wants to bunk with friends, we almost always are able to work it out.
Any out of camp trips?
Children leave camp to compete in intercamp games or special events such as a day trip to Camelbeach, Dorney Park, whitewater rafting, ice skating, bowling, minor league baseball games.
Do campers need extra money?
Canteen is provided free of charge each day. A small amount of spending money is recommended for other incidentals.
Where do campers come from?
All over. We have large groups of children from the New York metropolitan area, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Florida, and California, but don't be surprised if you have a bunk mate from London, Paris, Madrid or Singapore.
