Swim in a lake. Go sailing. Ride a horse. Sleep under the stars! Residential, sleepaway summer camp offers profound experiences that really can’t be found anywhere else, and experts say that “21st century skills” such as leadership, teamwork and critical thinking are best learned when kids are able to unplug, stretch their boundaries, develop an affinity with nature, and forge bonds that last a lifetime.
For parents who want to raise self-reliant, compassionate, and ethical children, Camp Wekeela is the premier overnight summer camp for boys and girls ages 6 through 16, located on pristine Little Bear Pond in Hartford, Maine. Fellow Bergen County residents, Ephram and Lori Caflun, own this family-run camp which sits on 250 acres and has been in operation since 1922. Their diverse population of campers hail from 23 states and 17 countries creating a one-of-a-kind community that simply cannot be found anywhere else. Everything you’d expect to find at a state-of-the-art camp such as this one – cabins with bathrooms and showers, painting, pottery, sports, swimming, water skiing, horseback riding, campfire cooking, and tennis – is all here. Their camper to staff ratio is 2:1 and many campers and staff return year after year. At Camp Wekeela, campers are like family.
Camp Wekeela offers 7-week, 4-week, 3-week and 2-week sessions and enrollment is happening now. Visit www.campwekeela.com to take a virtual tour, chat with one of their directors online, or call (201) 612-5125.
Your child’s life-changing experience awaits.
