Email RikkiAmong our primary goals for Juniors is that they bond with their cabin-mates and counselors to provide bunk and “community” support on a kind of “one for all, all for one” caring and sharing basis.
It was a big thing for him to get away from his parents. He made it, and he feels really good about himself!

During the first two weeks, depending on the needs of your child, their counselors will help in selection of activities. Encouragement will be given to branch out in the second two weeks and to make decisions more on their own in the selection of their activity schedules.
Summer camp may be a new adventure for your family. Many campers are eager to come, but as a parent you might wonder if 4 weeks is going to be too long for your child. Many families sign their Junior camper up for 2 weeks for their first summer, but reserve the option for their child to stay for 4 if they want to (if space is available). It’s a great way to start out!
My son went for the first time at age 8, stayed for 4 weeks. After camp, he is more confident, mature, brave, respectful, patient. He seems to have a longer attention span having been away from electronics. He appreciates nature more.

Another way we support our youngest campers is by having appropriately sized equipment in every single sport and activity.
Even at this youngest age many wilderness adventure trips are quite appropriate. Juniors are invited, in addition to cabin overnights, and fun micro-trips, to participate in the Lake George 5 and The Fire Tower Challenge series adventure trips.
