Clues to fit

What camp can mean — a moment of belonging

Sometimes we go a little further and we create a day for our campers that is more than having fun, playing games, discovering and exploring. We actually create those special summer memories that your camper and you will share in and cherish forever. Some of those magic moments have happened when a camper shook hands with a pro baseball player, made a new friend, saw a bird hatch from an egg, or just realized that he did fit in and people do like him.

Growing confidence & friendships

Self-esteem and participation — Kenwal's core belief

Our entire Staff, from Directors to Group leaders, are very much aware that the Camp Kenwal definition of a successful day camp is one that will cultivate the campers' desire to participate, have fun and try their best! Years of working with children has taught us that "self-esteem is the reward for participating, without the pressure of having to win."

Travel program progression — growing independence from 3rd grade up

Campers entering third grade and older are introduced to off-camp excursions. Supervised by our mature, experienced staff, these trips are chosen to promote maximum excitement and anticipation as they advance to the "next level" of travel each summer. Our Juniors participate in approximately 6 day trips during the course of the summer. Super Seniors participate in an average of 2 trips per week. Teens take an average of three trips a week. Extreme Teens experience 12 overnights, 17 day trips and 10 camp days during the course of the summer.
