A Heritage of Excellence
CampGroup is especially proud of our camp directors and staff who have worked so hard to make a difference in the lives of children. CampGroup enriches the lives of boys and girls by providing the best sleepaway camp and day camp experiences in America. CampGroup camps help kids develop independence, grit, self confidence, and a connection with nature — the 21st century skills that are so critical for success in life. We want every boy and girl who comes to a CampGroup camp to go home a more mature, thoughtful, responsible, compassionate person.
Our core values are Child Development, Excellence Drives Success, Building Community, & Leadership. Ongoing professional development is a key success factor for CampGroup. Keeping up with child development trends through ongoing education helps us train our summer camp staff so kids receive the very best camp experience.
Explore our boys camps, girls camps, coed overnight camps, and day camps. We think they’re the best summer camps in the USA!
