75 activities camp in Pennsylvania

Our philosophy of individualized programming allows you to pursue your own interests within a structured program. It’s all about choice so you can find and do what you love. You will also meet campers, outside of your bunk, who have similar interests and this only expands your camp connections and friendships.

A summer here is both fun and unique. Under the supervision of our highly-qualified and supportive staff, you will experience the excitement of challenge and the satisfaction of success. Your interests will be explored and at the same time you will be encouraged to try new things and step out of your comfort zone. You will gain the confidence that comes with the mastery of skills all while having fun with friends. Living among peers, you have a bunk experience and naturally learn independence but in the safety of our supportive camp environment. In addition to choosing your activities, we offer everything you are looking for in a camp experience from evening activities, special events, traditions and trip days.

We will encourage you to develop your own interests while being a part of our camp family. Come join us for a fabulous summer as you explore all the fun and excitement waiting for you.

International campers have been a part of our community since 1986 when the camp was founded. All of our international campers are sent our camp t-shirt to wear on the plane to Newark Airport. After clearing Customs and Immigration they are met by our staff and taken to camp. We have a very diverse staff who speak many languages for those who might have trouble communicating in English. We allow our international campers to email their parents periodically since letters would not arrive quickly. We have experience with campers from England, France, Spain, Poland, Russia, Israel, Thailand, China, and Germany. Our international campers are a part of the fabric of what makes Island Lake so special!
