Teen Programs

New Options Just for Teens

Teen programs provide an opportunity for young men to focus on areas of interest and learn new skills.

Our 4-week Counselor in Training program for campers that have completed grade 10.

We’re also excited to offer speciality cabins for boys who have completed grade 7 to 10. Boys who attend these sessions all live together in one cabin in Chippe Village. Scroll down for details about Magic, D + D, and Beyond, Sailing Cabin, and Fishing Cabin!


2027 Counselors In Training Program

The CIT program is a 4-week youth leadership program for campers that are rising 11th graders. The program is designed to help campers in the transition to counselor, and to develop leadership skills which can be used in school or in the workforce. The CIT experience provides in-depth training in skill development, child development, group dynamics, conflict resolution and more.

Each CIT lives in a cabin with up to 10 other CITs, who are supervised and mentored by the CIT Director. CIT’s typically interact with a large range of campers and staff during their stay. There are plenty of opportunities for CITs to enjoy camp programs and special events!

The Magic, D + D, and Beyond groups will stay in a cabin together. They’ll have extended sessions of gameplay with weeklong campaigns, and a good amount of time connecting on strategy. This group will work together and compete with the card game Magic the Gathering and the interactive Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying game. Additional new games will be introduced and taught by passionate and dedicated staff.

Camp will be hands-on — campers will learn all the parts and systems of Aqua-Finns, Hobie Cats, and small day sailers. During week two they will progress to larger day sailboats and extended trips on the lake.

Fishing Cabin 

  • Fishing Cabin Session 3: July 18 – 30

Campers will learn hands-on skills of safely cleaning and cooking their catch. While this session is geared towards beginner and novice fishermen, anglers of all skill levels are welcome and will have a great time!
