Four Distinct Programs
From a campers point of view our programs are considered separate camps and operate their own programs. A few activities are scheduled on a co-ed basis at our 4 week camps. From a staff members point of view, our administrative staff, support staff and counseling staff for all programs are considered one team as staff members will interact with all programs. We train all the staff together for most situations and days and nights off will consist of staff from all programs.


Lake of the Woods and Greenwoods Camp programs are considered brother/sister camps that run two 4-week sessions. These programs run simultaneously and staff live in the cabins for both 4 week sessions. Classes are not co-ed but campers do see each other and will occasionally have an optional co-ed evening program or special day. Most staff members will instruct activities to campers from both programs and some positions involve instruction at The Glen and The Grove as well.
