Small town charm mixed with urban chic
Linden Hall’s 47-acre campus is located in historic Lititz, Pennsylvania – a safe, charming town of
8,000 situated between Harrisburg and Philadelphia. The buildings situated along picturesque Main
Street date back to the early 18th century, when Count Nicholas von Zinzendorf of Saxony, Germany
established the town and its name.
Listed as one of the nation’s top 10 Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic
Preservation, Lititz is the perfect blend of small town charm and big city chic. The town offers an
eclectic mix of specialty shops, cafes, and restaurants (for any palette!) Lititz is also home to the
Wilbur Chocolate Factory (is that the smell of chocolate on campus?) and the Sturgis Pretzel House,
site of America’s first commercial pretzel bakery.
International students can experience American life and culture right here on the streets of Lititz.
And when any student wants to explore the sights and sounds beyond town, the school is within
minutes of a transportation hub served by train, bus and airplane. With convenient access to major

7. urban centers including New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., new
adventures are never far away.
Linden Hall is the nation's oldest independent boarding day school for girls in grade 5-12. We
believe we offer the nation's finest academic program for college preparatory students, with median
SAT and AP Exam Scores that surpass local and national averages.
The school is small by design, with an all-girl focus, a family-oriented atmosphere, and an average
class size of 12. Student enrollment is comprised of 250 students representing 16 countries and 19
states.
Linden Hall's campus is 47 acres. There are 15 academic and residential buildings, including Stengel
Hall, Steinman Art Center, Tsuzuki Science Center, a 20-stall horse stable, and the new Anne
Brossman Sweigart Sports and Fitness Center (complete with a contemporary dance studio and fully
equipped fitness room).
In 2013, Linden Hall offers summer day camps that engage students and broaden their horizons.
Boys and girls will learn new skills and gain cultural insights in camps such as Writer's Workshop,
Summer Fun with Chinese Customs and World Travelers Camp.
All camps are held at Linden Hall, 212 E. Main St., Lititz. Registrations are accepted online at
www.lindenhall.org/summer or by sending an email to jumberhocker@lindenhall.org.

regularly with Linden Hall’s college counselor. The counselor will provide guidance on how to
showcase your college potential and how to best prepare for the college application process. As an
extension of the program, students will participate in actual college visits. These college visits will
include campus tours, interviews with college admission officers, and provide the students with a
better understanding of how to choose the right American university. During non-class time,
students will join the other ESL learners for activities which will include interaction with American
students and travel to nearby cities and local attractions

Integrating our school community
The purpose of international students attending Linden Hall is to acquaint them with American life
and to perfect their English. To better integrate our international students into our school
community and to assist them in mastering the English language, Linden Hall has adopted the policy
that only English is to be spoken from the hours of 7:00 AM through 7:00 PM. English must also be
spoken at any time when the student is with a group where English is the common language,
including during study hall and after hours in dorm rooms.
As with certain other violations, students who fail to practice this policy will receive “pink slips.”
Depending on the number of pink slips received, students can receive a Level 1, 2, 3, or 4 response
for violating the English Language Policy.

http://www.raquettelake.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raquette_Lake_Camps
Family owned and operated since 1916, Raquette Lake Camps are two separate boys and girls sleep-
away camps for children ages 6-15.
Offers boys and girls ages 6-16 summer camp experience in the Adirondacks.
Raquette Lake Boys Camp and Raquette Lake Girls Camp are located on opposite shores of scenic
Raquette Lake in the Adirondack mountains of New York state.
Summer 2013 - June 22 – August 10
Raquette Lake has tennis courts, sailboats, wind-surfers, kayaks, canoes, power boats (including Ski
Nautique water ski and wake-board boats), plus hardball diamonds, a batting cage, soccer and lax
fields, basketball courts, and volleyball courts. It has a fully equipped gymnastics gymnasium with
balance beams, mini-tramps, spring boards, sets of uneven parallel bars, vaulting horses, mats, a
Tumble Trak and a springboard floor. Indoor recreational facilities include a social hall, theater, Arts
and Crafts center, a jewelry-making studio, a separate ceramics facility, and a gymnasium. A ropes
challenge course provides different high and low elements, including zip lines, and a three-sided
climbing wall.
Girls Camp
The featured activities at the Girls Camp include: Arts and Crafts, Jewelry Making, Ceramics, Soccer,
Basketball, Softball, Volleyball, Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Tennis, Gymnastics, Water Skiing,
Wakeboarding, Canoeing, Kayaking, Swimming, Sailing, Fishing, Theatre Arts, Dance, and Ropes
Course.

13. Boys Camp
The featured activities at the Boys Camp include: Basketball, Baseball, Tennis, Soccer, Flag Football,
Lacrosse, Floor Hockey, Roller Hockey, Ice Hockey, Softball, Volleyball, Ultimate Frisbee, Archery,
Drama, Water Skiing, Wakeboarding, Sailing, Windsurfing, Ropes Challenge Course, Fishing, High
Peaks Adventure, Mountain Biking, Golf, Woodworking, and Arts and Crafts.
Campers live with 6 to 16 other campers in a cabin with at least three counselors. Some older bunks
as Supy the oldest bunk can have up to 30 kids. Each age group has Group Leader who reports to the
Head Counselor. At Girls Camp there are showers and bathrooms in each cabin. At Boys Camp all of
the younger camper bunks and most of the older camper bunks have bathrooms in the cabins. In
addition, there is a new shower house with 26 showers. Each camp has a fully equipped health
center with a physician and three registered nurses.
The exclusive and expensive Raquette Lake Camp, in the Adirondacks mountains, offers campers
million-dollar facilities, a camper to counselor ratio of 2:1, full-uniform attire, Olympic-level sports
coaches, and around-the-clock counselor supervision in the bunks, all with 100 miles of shoreline on
one of the cleanest lakes in the country.
"The camp may sound a little resort-like, but our campers are far from on holiday," said Ed Lapidus,
whose wife Kathi has owned the camp for a little more than a decade (he calls himself "the camp
grandpa"). "Parents want their children to get as much life experience as possible. We're old school."
Raquette Lake sounds like a child's dream, but getting in isn't easy.
There's space for just 450 campers between the ages of 6 and 16 years old in the boys' and girls'
camps, and most of those spots are filled by children returning from previous summers. Siblings and
legacies (some kids are third- and fourth-generation campers) are admitted next.
Once those children have been factored in, there are usually only 10 to 12 spots left. At that point,
potential campers must go through an interview process, to make sure they are the right fit for the
camp, Lapidus said. Many wind up on a wait list. Camp staff uses a map to make sure that there are
not too many campers from the same school or hometown, so the children truly have a diverse
experience.
There are campers from 18 countries and 21 states, and a small group comes to Raquette Lake on
scholarship, helping diversify the group of campers even further.
Lapidus said that no day in the seven-week program was "typical" at Raquette Lake. Tennis reigns as
the top activity: every camper receives tennis instruction every day. A former Olympic coach heads
the camp's equestrian program and imports horses from Florida. Once a week, the campers take on
a ropes course.
With easy access to the lake, water sports offerings are also extensive and include sailing,
waterskiing, and jetskiing.
Every week at camp, a different age group puts on a full-length play with the help of Broadway and
off-Broadway directors, voice coaches, and costume designers.

14. And one day a week the campers leave the grounds and go hiking, or on nearby trips. These trips can
bump up the overall cost of camp to more than $12,000. The 14-year-old campers—boys and girls
alike—take an 80-mile canoe trip.
All the food served at camp is made on the premises (no canned goods). The chefs can
accommodate every allergy, and Raquette Lake is completely nut-free.
All electronics, including cellphones, video games, and even hair dryers, are forbidden.
Care packages from home are also not allowed. Lapidus said they take the environment around
camp very seriously, and don't want to create any extra waste from the packages. They also don't
want to create jealousy among campers.
"You don't need them here," Lapidus said. "If you have a good program and quality time for the
children and a lot to do and get them involved, they don't want to play video games or sit alone. It's
a very social camp, they be with each other and spend seven weeks having friends, doing things with
each other."
The formula, if costly, seems to be working. Lapidus said that campers love Raquette Lake so much
that about one third come back as counselors—a very rare ratio.

21. Tumbleweed Day Camp
Tumbleweed is a Day Camp located in the Brentwood suburb of Los Angeles
Address: 1024 Hanley Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90049
Tel: +1 310-472-7474
Children from age 4 – 13 years
Cost: Minimum 10 day enrollment starts at $1550.
Summer Camp Tuition Rates for 2013 are $149 per day, with a 10 day minimum at $1490.00 and 20
days at $ 2980 and 30 days at $4470 and the full summer program of 44 days at $ 6556
Located in the natural setting of Crestwood Hills in Brentwood, Tumbleweed spans over 100 lush
canyon acres. We are convenient to both Sunset Boulevard and the San Diego Freeway. On clear
days, vistas from the tops of our hiking trails extend from Mulholland Drive to Catalina Island.
Welcome to Tumbleweed, where children ages 4-14 enjoy the wonders of nature in the beautiful
Brentwood section of Los Angeles. Offering a variety of camp programs and educational
opportunities, Tumbleweed has provided an enriching atmosphere that has fostered growth and
development in children since 1954. From traditional day camp activities such as horseback riding,
archery, and arts and craft to our own unique Tumblewheel and 40’ inflatable obstacle course, your
children will get the opportunity to gain self-confidence and build lasting relationships in a nurturing
environment.
In addition to our camp programs, Tumbleweed has many other educational opportunities for
children of all ages to flourish. We offer private swim and horseback riding lessons, a counselor-in-
training program, outdoor education, and birthday parties.
You have an abundance of choices for your child’s summer, and almost all of them talk about how
“fun” and “safe” their programs are. A summer at Tumbleweed is fun and safe, too! But what makes
the summer camp experience at Tumbleweed unique?
Summer camp removes the typical pressures of school and sports, instead building a positive
atmosphere that rewards effort and persistence. Just like at school, we celebrate kids when they
succeed. The Tumbleweed difference, though, is that we celebrate the effort as much as the end
result. Kids learn to be persistent and positive, making them stronger.

22. Tumbleweed offers an unequaled variety of opportunities to develop well-rounded youth. At
camp, we encourage “dabbling” rather than expertise. Throughout the day, our campers learn
about, explore, and participate in the widest variety of activities, expanding their horizons and
cultivating a desire to try new things.
We focus on preparing children for future success. Companies like Google, Apple, and Disney have
identified the skills they’re looking for in the 21st
century: creativity, collaboration, critical thinking,
and communication. At Tumbleweed, our staff teaches these things at every activity. While your
child is having fun, they’ll be gaining an advantage for life! (For more on this, check out the
Partnership for 21st
Century Skills.)
Camp leads the way in using the best methods to help children learn and grow. Kids learn best by
doing, and since 1954, Tumbleweed has helped our campers grow by involving them in high-interest
activities, practicing new skills through hands-on discovery in small groups.
Tumbleweed offers a positive and accepting community, battling isolation. In an increasingly
isolated world, Tumbleweed can be a unique oasis of personal safety where everyone is included,
differences are celebrated, and all have a chance to become their very best.
Tumbleweed North is designed for campers that are entering grades 3 through 6. This program
focuses on making friends, gaining independence, and being able to share the responsibilities of
working as a team through various traditional and unique day camp activities.
Typical Day at Tumbleweed North:
A typical day at Tumbleweed North consists of Morning Pow-Wow, followed by five periods of
various traditional and unique day camp activities. Swimming and lunch occur daily. We try to
schedule major activities on two consecutive days to accommodate the day combinations available
to all campers. Activities also alternate between high and low energy. The day ends with snack and
Afternoon Pow-Wow, where campers enjoy skits and performances as they get ready for
transportation home.
Activities Include:
Archery- An example of a traditional camp activity, campers love getting the chance to use a bow
and arrow. Through archery, campers learn the value of practice, patience, and consistent effort.
Horseback Riding- Our Wranglers teach campers the fundamentals of good horsemanship at our
equestrian center through trail rides and ring work.
Swimming- Whether practicing strokes or playing a game of water polo, campers get the
opportunity to swim everyday in our heated pool. All our life guards and instructors are Red-Cross
certified.
Challenge Course- This activity allows campers to climb to new heights in a safe environment with
plenty of challenge. On the challenge course, campers develop trust, team work, leadership, and
self-confidence.
Inflatable Obstacle Course- Our 40’ long Obstacle Course is many of our campers’ favorite activity
where they race each other over hills and through tunnels.

23. Outdoor Living Skills- This program focuses on the respect and appreciation for nature around us.

Summer 2014 Dates and Rates
Full Summer: June 28th to August 16th, $11,000
July Session: June 28th to July 26th, $7650
August Session: July 27th to August 16th, $5450
Walt Whitman is located in the beautiful state of New Hampshire, just a few miles from the Vermont
border, and within easy driving distance of New York and Boston.
In addition to near-perfect summer weather (low humidity, warm days and cool nights), our
surroundings play an important role in making Camp Walt Whitman what it is.
The hiking and camping program takes full advantage of the natural beauty that surrounds and
encompasses our camp.
Our 300 acre campground is idyllically located down a quiet dirt road, far removed from the hustle
and bustle of the city.
We sit on the south shore of beautiful Lake Armington, surrounded by mountains on all sides.
Because some very young first-time campers, or their parents, may not be comfortable with the full
summer program, we do offer both half and full summer cabins for children currently in 2nd and 3rd
grades. To ensure a better experience for all children this age, four-week campers in grades 2 and 3
are housed in separate cabins from full summer campers. Although they all are friends and enjoy
activities together, this enables us to provide individual planning and appropriate closure.

33. For campers finishing 4th through 7 grades we have a limited number of 4 week options available.
One Week Pioneer Camp for Children
Finishing 1st and 2nd Grades
Why is Pioneer Camp Important?
Choosing the right camp for your child is not an easy task. Pioneer Camp at Walt Whitman
provides a wonderful first step towards making the transition from day camp to sleep away camp.
At Pioneer Camp, your child will have the opportunity to experience Camp Walt Whitman first
hand. Your child will enjoy swimming in our lake and playing on our sports fields. Pioneers will be
offered the challenge of the climbing wall and will engage in what the arts, ceramics and
woodshop have to offer.
The seven-day program provides our future campers with an extra level of comfort as they will
have already been introduced to the daily routine and to the physical lay-out of camp.
This acclimation eases the transition into camp for both children and their parents.
Pioneer Camp Dates:
(session 1) July 21 - July 27
(session 2) July 28 - August 3
Tuition: $950

34. Summer Camp Sessions
Because some very young first time campers (or their parents) may not be comfortable with our full
7 week program, we do offer both half and full summer cabins for children currently in 2nd and 3rd
grades.
To ensure a better experience for all children in this age group, half summer campers live in separate
cabins from seven week campers. While these campers share activities and friendships together, the
self-contained cabins allow us to provide individual planning and appropriate closure.
In addition, we are able to accommodate a limited number of older campers for the half summer
option.
7 Week Summer Camp
We primarily remain a 7 week summer camp. Throughout the years we have found that the most
successful camp experience is developed over the full summer. We believe that the total growth
process is best served when children have ample time to develop new skills, achieve personal
independence and build lasting friendships.
We welcome new campers to join us for part of the summer to get a taste of Camp Walt Whitman,
or for the full summer to gain the total experience. However, for those families who will want their
child to remain a short session camper indefinitely, unfortunately, we are not the right camp.
A Premier Summer Camp for Kids
Located in the scenic White Mountains of New Hampshire, our traditional coed overnight summer
camp for kids has been an exciting and fun summer home for generations of campers.
We provide excellent instruction to help our campers improve in all of the physical skills at camp,
while focusing on the care and attention necessary to develop their full potential as individuals and
as members of the Camp Walt Whitman family.
Known for our warm and welcoming community, our experienced and committed leadership team,
our focus on personal growth, and our exciting and well-rounded summer camp program, kids leave
Camp Walt Whitman each summer with close friendships and feeling great about themselves.
From baseball and basketball to hockey and lacrosse; from softball and gymnastics to flag football
and soccer athletics are scheduled regularly for every camper in every cabin. Whether a beginner or
an advanced player, each child receives expert instruction in all sports, which increases their ability
to play and their sheer enjoyment of the game.

35. Collegiate Athletes and Coaches
Our coaches, most of whom are current or former collegiate athletes and coaches, place their
emphasis on building strong skills, having fun, sharing their passion for their sport, and teaching our
campers that no matter what their ability level they can enjoy participating in the activity.
Our most advanced athletes will choose in-depth athletic clinics during their elective time and their
week-long specialty classes. Inter-camp sports competitions against nearby camps provide
wonderful opportunities for challenge and competition in a fun environment.
Tennis Instruction for All Levels
Tennis is a lifetime sport, and it is never too early to learn to play.
Our experienced tennis staff is led by Dave Porter. Dave is a USPTA National Past President and is the
current Chair of the Player Development Council. He is the longtime Head Coach of the BYU Hawaii
men's and women's tennis teams, where he has won a combined 10 Division II NCAA championships,
as well as being named Collegiate Coach of the Year 5 times. In 2012 Dave was named as the USPTA
Tennis Professional of the Year.
Dave oversees a staff that offers all of our summer camp kids excellent, regularly scheduled
instruction for all levels on our 11 clay tennis courts.
Campers with a passion for tennis can also choose tennis for their daily elective and for their week-
long specialty.
Exciting in-camp ladder play and tournaments complement a very active intercamp schedule.
Intensive Tennis Program
If advancement in tennis is a priority, campers may choose to participate in our Intensive Tennis
Program, which provides campers with two additional private lessons each week.
Water Sports at Camp Walt Whitman
Imagine standing in the center of camp and looking out onto a crystal clear lake that is one of the
quietest and most beautiful in New Hampshire.

36. Set on the shores of secluded Lake Armington, Camp Walt Whitman offers a naturally beautiful
backdrop for all aquatic activities. Campers swim and boat in complete privacy, as there are no other
camps on the shores of Lake Armington.
Campers may swim in the lake or in the Olympic heated swimming pool which is perfect for
instructional swim.
Swim Instruction
On the Waterfront, our goals are to encourage children to enjoy the water and learn to swim using
the proper techniques and standards of the American Red Cross.
Certified Water Safety Instructors provide group and individual instruction for beginners up to the
most advanced swimmers. With small class sizes, our campers can receive high quality instruction in
a fun environment.
We utilize our heated pool for our instruction which enables our campers to stay warm during the 50
minute swim class.
Boating Program
Under the direction of expert instructors, our emphasis is on proper technique, proper safety
practices, and plenty of simple FUN! Our exciting boating program includes:
Water-skiing, Windsurfing, Sailing, Wake boarding, Canoeing, Paddle boarding, Kayaking
Outdoor Adventure at Camp Walt Whitman
Majestic forests and the historic White Mountains surround our 300 acre campus where we
encourage the appreciation and enjoyment of nature.
Our Outdoor Adventure Program is unique in the world of camping today and provides campers
with experiences they can't get anywhere else. These are experiences they remember for a lifetime.
Participation in these outdoor activities enable children to develop confidence, leadership skills, and
a spirit of adventure. In awe-inspiring locations, our campers develop a sense of responsibility for all
that surrounds them.

37. Campers Learn to Challenge Themselves
Certified professional staff help campers learn to set goals for themselves, whether attempting the
Climbing Wall, working together on the Low or High Ropes Courses, pitching a tent on an overnight
camping trip, challenging the rapids while White Water Rafting or exploring mountain trails on a
hike.
Weekly day trips are scheduled for every group. Our campers challenge themselves on these
adventures while also enjoying the simple pleasures of eating s'mores and chatting around the
campfire.
Adventure Trips for Older Campers
Our older campers have the opportunity to participate in 3 and 5 day backpacking adventures, biking
trips, and canoeing expeditions. In addition, these campers enjoy week-long trips to the Maine
seacoast, Acadia National Park, Montreal, and Quebec City.
The Arts At Camp Walt Whitman
A broad spectrum of arts programs provides many outlets for campers' creative interests and
talents.
Professional artists and teachers work with children in separate, well-equipped studios for ceramics,
woodworking and crafts.The arts programs at CWW are designed for all ages and ability levels.
Enjoyment of, and exposure to, the arts are our goals.
Campers Explore Artistic Choices
Regularly scheduled art classes, along with daily and weekly elective periods, provide boys and girls
ample time to complete projects and explore all of camp's artistic choices.
Studios buzz with excitement as campers saw and sand the pieces of a chess set, throw the perfect
pot on the pottery wheel, or make t-shirts in our crafts studio.
Our end of summer Art Show displays the impressive work of our campers from all three studios and
is always a highlight.

38. Drama and Music at Camp
Dramatics and music complement a busy arts program. Campers love the opportunity to perform in
a theater production before taking a bow and enjoying the cheers and applause of fellow campers.
In addition to learning all of our CWW songs, campers with an interest in music can specialize during
elective times in a cappella groups, guitar lessons, drum making, or join a camp band.

Welcome to Cardigan Mountain School’s Summer Session! 2014 marks our 63rd summer of
providing well-balanced educational and recreational experiences for boys and girls in grades three
through nine.
There are many summer camps out there, but Cardigan’s Summer Session gives families a broad
program that meets their needs and interests. In just six weeks, our students improve their
academic skills, broaden their experiences, develop friendships, and explore new hobbies. Most
important, they come away with a better understanding of themselves. You can choose between
the full six-week experience, or a three-week session.
Summer Session students come to Cardigan from all over the United States and the world. For
some, Summer Session provides an opportunity to reinforce understanding in content areas like
math or English or to improve organizational and study skills. Others find at Cardigan a chance to
enjoy enrichment courses in the arts, sciences, or foreign languages. Still others participate in our
Cougar Clinics to improve their skills in a given sport. The majority of our students choose a
combination. It is amazing how much they are able to accomplish in a five-period morning.
During afternoons and evenings, the atmosphere is that of a traditional summer camp; we take full

43. advantage of our beautiful lakeside campus … canoeing, swimming, sailing, basketball, volleyball,
dance, tennis, street hockey, arts and crafts—virtually every activity under the sun. At night, we
welcome performers to campus, engage in all-school “Green and White” competitions, enjoy
campfire skits, and bond as a group during dormitory initiatives. By “lights out,” our students are
ready for a good night’s rest after a very full day.
Many students return to Cardigan for multiple summers. They make lifelong friends here and
always look forward to the traditions of our program, be it “The Great Race,” “Beach Day,” “The
Cereal Box Challenge,” “Battle of the Brains,” “Polar Bear,” or any number of other established
traditions.
Cardigan Mountain School runs a "summer session" usually beginning in June and ending in August.
The summer session, unlike the academic year, allows both genders to attend the program.
Summer session also currently uses the dormitories Brewster and Dewar as dorms for those of the
female gender. There is also a competition known as Green and White that runs throughout the
summer session in which students are assigned to either the Green Team or the White Team to
compete in an activity selected by the faculty on a Wednesday evening. The students will wear
special Green and White shirts on Green and White nights: if you are on the Green Team, you wear
a green t-shirt with white text stylized as "CARDIGAN" and opposite if you are on the White Team.
ESL (English as a Second Language) Program
NOTE: Placement tests are given to all international students to determine appropriate placement.
Typically, a high percentage (nearly all) of international students are enrolled in ESL classes to
provide them with the best possible preparation for secondary study. Students are enrolled in
these classes based on the results of a placement test. In addition to these classes, students are
required to speak English in the dormitory, dining hall, and during recreation time to practice their
spoken English.
Daily schedule of activities includes English, Mathematics, Science, The Fine Arts of Chorus, Music,
Dance, Drama, Emsemble, Drawing, Clay, Photography, Woodworking. And ESS (Essential Study
Skills), Basketball, Lacrosse, Soccer, Tennis, Hockey, World Languages of Chinese, French, Latin,
Spanish, and ESL (English as a Second Language).

Camp Winaukee’s location is spectacular, on 2.5 miles of shoreline on Lake Winnipesaukee, the
largest lake in New England, surrounded by the White Mountains of New Hampshire. What could be
better! With warm days and cool nights, the weather is ideal for summer activities, and the fresh
mountain air and low humidity enhance all sporting activities.
Because of our traditional New England camp location, Winaukee attracts campers from all over the
world. This allows campers to meet and become friends with boys from beyond their own
neighborhood. They all choose Winaukee because they share a desire to learn new sports, improve
their skills and try their hand at many new and exciting activities.
What is the advantage of having a mainland and an island camp?
Winaukee has two separate facilities and programs, offering all of our campers an intimacy of a small
camp setting with the breadth and diversity of programming of a larger camp. The Mainland Camp,
for boy’s ages 7 -12, offers a nurturing and structured program, where boys receive quality sports
instruction and partake in exciting trips designed especially for younger campers.
Winaukee Island Camp is located on a private island just off the Mainland. There, our teenage boys
ages 13-15 participate in athletics and trip programs designed for a teenager. Each campus is self-
contained and features separate athletic facilities, waterfront, dining hall, theater and fleet of boats.
Although the two camps are separate, Mainland and Island brothers and cousins visit weekly.
How does the program work?
Winaukee offers a program that is age-appropriate. The day is divided into six activity periods, three
in the morning and three in the afternoon. The youngest boys are assigned five of their activities
each day thus ensuring that they receive instruction in a variety of land sports, water sports and

48. hobbies. Our youngest campers also have one structured elective period during which they can
choose from six, pre-selected activities. Campers entering 4th, 5th and 6th grade have four
scheduled periods and two elective choices each day.
As campers get older, they are given more choice. With guidance from the Island director and key
staff, Island campers choose their own program, to meet their interests and goals.
Campers participate in inter-camp tournaments with camps in the vicinity. Our goal is for campers to
participate and to have fun. There are no try-outs or “A” and “B” teams. Every boy has the
opportunity to play and have fun!

Camp Winaukee is a private residential boys’ camp on beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee in the White
Mountains of New Hampshire. Our program offers three, five and seven week sessions for boys ages
7-15.
Founded in 1920, Winaukee enjoys a reputation as one of the premier sports and adventure camps
in America.
Winaukee has two campuses. The Mainland Camp has approximately 200 campers ages 7-12 and the
Island Camp, located on a private island just off the Mainland, has approximately 150 campers ages
13-15. Winaukee’s two separate facilities offer all of our campers the intimacy of a small camp
setting with the breadth and diversity of programming of a larger camp. The atmosphere at each of
the two age-appropriate camps is unique. The camps are run essentially separate, and each has its
own facilities, playing fields, courts, bunks, playhouses and dining halls.
The Mainland camp offers a full range of team and individual sports as well as extensive waterfront
activities and hobbies for boys completing 1st through 6th grades. We provide a nurturing and
structured program, where boys receive quality sports instruction and partake in exciting trips
designed especially for younger campers.
The campers are divided into two residential rows all facing beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee: Junior
Row, housing 1st through 4th graders and Senior Row where the 5th and 6th graders reside.
Activities, bedtimes and special privileges are all according to age.
Mainland staff members are personally selected and trained to work with our younger campers.
Having a separate mainland camp gives the Senior Row 5th and 6th grade campers a chance to be
leaders. In addition, our boys can look forward to their teenage years when they will graduate to an
entirely new campus.
Mainland Camp Activities The mainland camp activity day is divided into six activity periods, three in
the morning and three in the afternoon. The youngest boys are assigned five of their activities each
day thus ensuring that they receive instruction in a variety of land sports, water sports and hobbies .
Our youngest campers also have one structured elective period during which they can choose from
six, pre-selected activities. Campers entering 4th, 5th and 6th grade have four scheduled periods and
two elective choices each day. Campers participate in inter-camp tournaments with camps in the

50. vicinity. Our goal is for campers to participate and to have fun. There are no try-outs or A and B
teams. Every boy has the opportunity to play!

a week. Ice time combines instruction with ample time for scrimmages.

periods, leagues, serving and volley lessons, private instruction, and inter-camps. In addition, all
campers have use of the small ball machines, as well as the Prince Pro machine.
To help meet the needs of the growing number of advanced and tournament-level tennis players
coming to Camp Winaukee, we have created an Intensive Tennis program. This program offers a
special opportunity for those campers who have requested more intensive, advanced tennis
instruction.
Campers who enroll in the Intensive Tennis Program have an opportunity to be involved in more
competition and round robins. The level of instruction is appropriately geared to boys who are
enthusiastic tennis players. Instruction includes areas such as under and top spin, backhand,
American twist serve, drop volleys and half volleys, as well as court strategy clinics. We are delighted
to have world class players and coaches coordinating this program.

themselves. After a tough work-out climbing, campers enjoy their walk across the “Burma Bridge,”
scaling the Pamper Pole then riding the Zip Line.

cruiser.

summer. Tucked into the trees fronted by a huge sandy beach, the bunks, all recently remodeled

s’mores parties, outdoor movies and lake excursions.
Sundays at Winaukee are a very special day! The Mainland camp is divided into four teams, and

dinner. During this special traditional Winaukee ceremony, staff members, dressed in Native
American garb, present the prestigious Winaukee Tree of Values: Enthusiasm, Loyalty,
Sportsmanship, Friendship, Achievement and Cooperation awards to the campers and staff for that
week. Basking in the glow of a huge bonfire with your summer family is the perfect culmination of an

Camp Manitou, a summer camp for boys age 7-16, is located in the beautiful Belgrade Lakes region
of Maine.
Since 1947, campers and staff from around the world have gathered on the shores of East Lake and
called Camp Manitou their summer home. The Manitou experience, delivered through a wide range
of land, water and creative activities, trips and community living, empowers boys to reach their full
potential. At Manitou, the core values your children learn at home are reinforced. In this unique
community living experience, our campers develop a heightened sense of respect, cooperation,
fairness and teamwork. As each camper acquires a greater understanding and appreciation of
themselves, their confidence and self-esteem grows. Campers develop a close-knit community
feeling amongst themselves, especially their bunk-mates, and brotherly relationships that will last a
lifetime.
Camp Manitou is a premier boys instructional camp that prides itself on its experienced staff,
excellent facilities and broad selection of activities. Campers individually choose programs carefully
designed to challenge minds and develop skills. Established in 1947, Camp Manitou is long in history
and rich in tradition.
Among the team sports: baseball, softball, basketball, football, soccer, roller-hockey, ice-hockey,
volleyball, lacrosse and European handball.
Individual activities include archery, camping, climbing, golf, riflery, ropes course (with zip line),
tennis, and track and field.
AT the waterfront, campers participate in swimming, canoeing, kayaking, water-skiing,
wakeboarding, SCUBA, sailing, snorkeling, windsurfing, paddle boating and fishing.
Our creative areas are exceptional and campers choose from acting, animation, computer
animation, newspaper, photography, pottery, radio, set design, and videography.

Camp Skylemar spans 200 acres in Maine.
The all-boys camp features a five-hole golf course, eight tennis courts, and three indoor-and-outdoor
basketball courts.
On the camp's says "We teach boys to win graciously, and lose with honor."
What is Skylemar? It’s a spectacular place in Maine where exceptional athletic instruction and play
happens within a culture of fun and kindness. Skylemar is where boys thrive.
For over 60 years, Camp Skylemar has made a positive difference in the lives of boys ages 7 to 15.
Here’s the Skylemar recipe for success:

64. We start with some of the country’s finest college athletes who have a sincere interest in passing on
their knowledge to youngsters. We train these men of strong character to become amazing coaches,
as well as outstanding role-models of kindness, compassion and friendship.
Add 170 of the greatest young guys in the world, thanks to wonderful parents who yearn for happy,
safe and successful children. Our parents recognize that Skylemar builds confidence, athletic ability,
relationships, independence, leadership and so much more. Each Skylemar day is jam-packed with
activites that boys love, on land, water and even in the air. From the lush green fields to the
spectacular lake to the tree-top zip line, Skylemar boys are smiling.
Each summer, boys from across the US and abroad become life-long friends at Skylemar. Campers
represent a variety of backgrounds, interests and athletic abilities. An exceptional staff provides
instruction in numerous team and individualized sports, arts and outdoor education.
At Skylemar, we teach by example. We teach how to compete, while not losing sight of caring for
others. We teach boys to win graciously, and lose with honor. They learn to be the best they can be.
How to improve golf swings, get up water skiing, make foul shots and perform on stage. We
celebrate effort, which builds strong, confident, positive boys.
Undoubtedly, boys learn best, are the happiest and most motivated when in small groups. This is
why enrollment is limited to a number large enough for competitive play, yet small enough for one-
on-one private instruction. Most importantly, our size assures that everyone knows everyone at
Skylemar.
Campers learn to get along with and care for others, to make good decisions, to be accountable and
to eagerly undertake responsibility. At Skylemar, they become well-rounded young men, with safe
opportunities to try new things. They learn to say “I can”.
Skylemar: Where kids play and compete regardless of athletic ability. Top-notch instruction and
personalized attention build confidence and talent. Boys are set up for success and guided through
challenge, in a safe, secure and supportive environment.
Most importantly, Skylemar provides the opportunity to learn how to compete fairly, how to win
gracefully, how to deal with loss and disappointment, how to work with others to accomplish
common goals, how to lead and how to persevere. These are the skills important for navigating adult
life, long after the game is over.
Skylemar: An amazing place in Maine, where exceptional athletic instruction and play happens
within a culture of fun and kindness. Skylemar is where boys thrive.

65. Dedicated counselor team, coming from some of the finest colleges in the United States. Each
counselor joins Skylemar to make a positive difference for campers, much as a coach had for him in
the past. Our application process is rigorous, so only the most talented and devoted typically apply.
There is one counselor for every two children, and return rate is extremely high.
Outstanding instruction and individualized attention soccer, baseball, lacrosse, basketball, tennis,
golf, street hockey, flag football, challenge course, archery, drama, arts, woodshop, science,
swimming, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, snorkeling, fishing plus LOTS
MORE! Off-camp trips, intercamp competition and numerous special events and parties.
Involved, experienced directors who truly know each boy, and communicate personally with parents
regularly. As educators and the parents of four children, we share the same concern for safety,
nurture and success.
A new schedule daily, combining structure and choice. Campers have the chance to try everything,
and specialize in what they like most.
Flexible session length. Campers may “get their feet wet” with two weeks, enjoy a half season (24
days) or stay full-term for seven weeks.
A collection of the greatest guys in the world, of every type and athletic ability. Each boy shines and
is celebrated at Skylemar.
Enormous attention is given to the selection, training and supervision of the counseling staff.
Skylemar’s camper-to-counselor ratio of 2:1 is unsurpassed. Many staff members have been
members of the Skylemar family for many years. Those considered for new positions must have
demonstrated expertise in specific activities. Most importantly, they must prove that they are
considered to be a role model for children.
Skylemar counselors strive to be amazing coaches who influence boys for the rest of their lives. They
are dedicated to bettering the world by serving as good examples for our kids, and are committed to
their well-being. Counselors are directed by an exceptional group of teachers and coaches, the
Skylemar Senior Staff. Most Senior Staffers have children of camp age, and share a close relationship
with Skylemar families.
Counselors undergo rigorous training before the season, as well as throughout the summer. Arleen
and Shep, along with the experienced Senior Staff, work directly with counselors as well as the
campers under their care. Skylemar directors “keep their finger on the pulse” of camp, and know
each child personally.
Clean, clear, refreshing water for splashing, swimming, boating and skiing! Skylemar’s sandy beach
overlooks the virtually private, 3-mile long lake. Considered to be one of Maine’s most pristine water
bodies, Trickey Pond is the greatest.
American Red Cross WSI’s (Water Safety Instructors) and lifeguards provide swim lessons regularly.
Boys may choose to compete with the Skylemar swim team, or wake up early for Polar Bear. Water
polo and snorkeling too! Climb the 15-foot iceberg, and slide down the slippery slope. Swim to the
pontoon and jump off the high tower. Best of all, jump on the water trampoline, slip slide across and
conquer “The Beast”.

66. To the left of the big docks, boys learn to sail, canoe, kayak and standup paddleboard. To the right,
it’s ski dock. There are three boats (Mastercrafts and Malibu for waterskiing, wakeboarding and
tubing).
Most have never skied or wakeboarded before coming to Skylemar. Our expert ski staff patiently
teaches beginners to get up, and those with experience to advance.
In the evening, campers fish in a secluded, quiet spot. The waterfront is also great for evening
cookouts, beach parties and bonfires.
There are eight tennis courts, both hard and HarTru, freshly resurfaced every year before campers
arrive. Several are lit for night play. Our USTA tennis pro directs, and is assisted by a number of
collegiate players. There are private tennis lessons, specialized tennis clinics, intra-camp ladders and
intercamp tournaments.
Varsity soccer players from universities across the country make Skylemar’s soccer program exciting
at ALL levels. Defenders, midfielders, strikers and goalkeepers are MADE on Skylemar’s two soccer
fields.
Built into the Skylemar forest is our Ropes and Challenge Course. Whether low or high, safety is our
#1 priority.
Campers accomplish more than they ever thought possible, by conquering the giant climbing wall, or
daring down the zip line. Team building and trust activities teach all to work together
Although each day is packed with adventure, there’s always time to slow down and enjoy the arts at
Skylemar. At Woodshop, campers use hand tools to build games and unique projects. There’s always
something interesting going on in the Hilltop arts & Crafts building…tie-dye, bracelets, birdhouses,
pottery and lots of other gifts for mom and dad.
“Yellowhorn” is the name of our fun science activity, especially for younger campers. At this outdoor
site, campers erupt volcanoes, make homemade ice cream and slime. It’s a messy great time.
Each night Skylemar comes together for a special evening activity. It’s a party every single night. In
just one week you’ll play laser tag, be a part of a rock concert, win prizes at a casino night and cruise
through a carnival.
The Skylemar stage comes alive with numerous skits, talent shows and major performances. Camper
and counselors of all ages have the chance to perform in musicals and dramatic plays. You don’t
have to be a super-star to be a part of the performance. We make sure each boy feels comfortable
getting up in front of peers. That’s the Skylemar difference – everyone LOVES to be a part of the
show, because their friends are the audience.
Living in a Skylemar cabin is like a sleepover party. Not only are your best friends in the room, but
your counselors are too. You’ll never feel alone at Skylemar.
Each bunk has 5-8 campers and some amazing counselors. With a 2:1 camper to staff ratio there’s

67. always someone to help you out or teach you something new. In just one night you might learn to
tape a hockey stick, string a lacrosse head or how to do a new card trick.
The counselors are always doing things to make cabin life fun, like playing music and joining in board
games. After lights-out they take the time to read to us. The bunks have bathrooms inside, and a
counselor’s always there if you need him.
The food at Skylemar is awesome. We sit together as a bunk, and the counselor brings the meal to
the table. Favorite lunches include chicken tenders, tacos, burgers and grilled cheese. Dinner is
always special, with fresh baked rolls and the salad bar. If you don’t care for what’s served, there’s
always pasta and other options.
There are cookout nights and lots of surprise meals. Desserts are homemade, and fruit’s always
available. If there are certain things you can’t have or need to have the chef will take care of you!
Good news for mom: we even learn how to prepare and serve meals ourselves, in Skylemar’s
Cooking Clinic and Gentleman’s Academy. Our chocolate chip cookies are the best!
