Life at Camp

All resident students live in cabins under the supervision of an experienced counselor. The Camp Director and most faculty members reside in separate cabins nearby. There is a full-time Registered Nurse, and a Waterfront Director at camp too.

Meals are served family style in the Dining Hall, and all campers share responsibility for bussing the tables after meals. There will be evening performances by the Faculty Orchestra and faculty members in a variety of solo and chamber music groups. Once the sun sets, you may find us gathered around the campfire on the shore of beautiful Lake Cobbossee, or practicing our skits for the ever-popular No-Talent Talent Show.
