Camp FAQs

Is the camp safe?
Our safety record over 45 years, quite frankly, is exceptional. The directors are Emergency Medical Technicians with 30 years service in the National Ski Patrol and mountain rescue teams. They handle any in-camp emergency. The directors work in the program daily, teaching activities, so they are always close at hand. Strong safety practices and policies, small camp size and ample supervision enhance our safety record.

Do all campers go on trips?
During the two-week program trips are optional; including whitewater rafting, mountain biking and day hiking. During the four-week program, all campers take two backpacking trips; a day hike up Mt. Moosilauke and; a five-day canoe trip. They may also choose to participate in optional day trips for whitewater rafting; kayaking and; rock climbing. The backpacking trips are age appropriate for each shelter group at camp. On the canoe trip, campers are given responsibilities that are also age/experience appropriate.

What is the food like at camp?
All of our food comes from a local grocery store. The meats ar specially cut for us by a butcher. All other products are name brand, no institutional food is served. The menu is created with boy's appetite's and tastes in mind. Campers have told us for many years that our food is the best they have had at a camp. Campers cook two of their three meals each day over open fires to learn this important outdoor skill. They come to enjoy this activity very much, especially baking in reflector ovens.

Is this camp too rugged for my son?
People have different perceptions about programs that concentrate activities in the outdoors. We do live a simple lifestyle at camp, reminiscent of all summer camps in the past. Our campers are "regular" kids you would find in any city, suburban town or rural area. They quickly adapt to the camp environment because we have created a "boys" world at camp. The program is specifically designed and equipped for boys 9-16. Think of the things boys like to do: explore, climb, catch crayfish, make a fire, shoot a rifle or a bow, build forts and make friends. This camp offers an opportunity for boys to be boys. They really enjoy the camp atmosphere and program.
