About Camp Lokanda

Camper trip program — day trips and overnight excursions

Our oldest campers and CITs headed to Los Angeles for a week-long trip. Our Lower Teens set off for their Big Trip to Vermont and Boston. Other groups headed to Mountain Creek water park, Hershey Park, Dorney Park, and Splashdown. Our Daisies, Frosh, Cubs, and Wildcats went to Splashdown and were greeted upon return by an ice cream party. Back at home, remaining campers had dibs on all their favorite activities.

Clues to fit

Outdoor adventure — ropes course, zip lines, Smart-Belay system

With a 5-sided rock climbing tower, Zip Lines and so many elements set up in the trees right by the lake, the campers learn to grow and overcome as they tackle our Ropes Course. Campers can head over to our newly built Adventure Walk with over 12 elements they can explore while secured by the state of the art Smart-Belay system.

Traditions & shared moments

Boys Sing — brotherhood, emotion, tradition

Boys Sing is a special night of traditional, wholesome summer camp fun where there's a perfect mixture of creativity, unity, laughter, and nostalgia. The boys spend a lot of time writing, rehearsing, and coordinating the details to ensure a great performance. You can tell how close all of the boys in all of the divisions have become with each other as well as with their counselors and staff members. The speeches and songs by the Upper Teen Boys brought many in the room to tears. Speeches were made by 9-year campers who spoke with such emotion and clarity about the importance of camp and savoring all of your carefree, momentous years here at Lokanda.

Color War — Red vs. Grey, 5-day event

It's Red vs. Grey! Our Color War is a 5-day event featuring a Break Out (and sometimes Fake Outs) that include sports, creative and novelty events between the entire camp. All of our campers and staff are split into 2 teams as they compete for our annual Color War title! Rope Burn, Sports, Plaques, Sing and our Apache Relay highlight this event.
