Philosophy runs through every decision we make. We adopt a holistic approach when it comes to our campers with an emphasis on the individual. We aim to empower our campers to be less busy, less formally structured, less overtly competitive, more committed to meaningful moments, and attentive to the wonder that surrounds them.
Our objective is to present opportunities that build into a series of personal accomplishments that accumulate during the time campers are with us. We strive to make this philosophical "scaffolding" less visible to the kids. We know that beyond the activities and instruction, it's the time in-between that really matters.

Global Community
Report
About 20% of our campers (and many of our counselors) come to us from different countries around the planet. We take great pride in our rich, global community. Sharing different cultural traditions such as celebrating Bastille Day, learning Poi from our New Zealanders, and passionate cheering for ADK World Cup teams only adds to the fun!
Competition & Service
Report
Summer camp is about coming into one's own with a growing sense of self and confidence. We build our overnight Camp program day on top of day, week on top of week, holistically and individually for each of our campers. The longer a child stays, the more they gain from the experience.
Much of a camper's day is spent in organized activities - basketball, rock climbing, sailing, wake surfing, fencing, drama, culinary art - and whatever the activity, there is an opportunity for fun and for achievement.We encourage children to branch out and try new things so they will be challenged.

What Campers Say
Report
One of the many benefits of a summer at girls' and boys' camp is the opportunity for a child to gain perspective. For all campers, especially first-timers, being independent from parental care and responsible for oneself - in addition to a world of stimulating social and environmental experiences - your child will come home transformed.
Age Groups
Report
Everyone at Camp is divided into age groups. Each of these groups have their own "lights out" time and corresponding sets of privileges and responsibilities. Our emphasis is on family. Life on our peninsula feels like a family where everyone dances together, campers cheer for each other, and practically everyone knows everyone by first name.
Juniors
Report
We know it's a BIG deal to be away from home so we're going to pay special attention to you and make sure you get all the loving care you need! We'll help you pick your activities if you want us to, and help you find them on our peninsula too. We have special sailboats, wind surfers, kayaks, canoes, snorkeling gear, rock climbing gear, bows & arrows.
