Black Bears

  • Rising Grades 7th – 8th, rising grade refers to a camper’s Fall 2025 grade. 
  • 1:8 staff-to-camper ratio 
  • $332 per week ($264 week 3) 
  • Our oldest campers participate in all camp activities and have advanced use of our ropes course. Counselors focus on problem-solving skills, and social skills including making and keeping friends, leadership, positive identity, and building confidence. Our Black Bear campers will have chances throughout the week to buddy up with younger campers at their favorite program areas, opportunities to build their weekly schedule and dive deeper into areas of interest.

*NEW* in 2025 – Weekly Black Bear Field Trips! Part-time options are available for Black Bears only.  

See our Camp Readiness page to see if your child is ready for camp.
