About our camp
1948 marks the year of Camp Walt Whitman establishment. Since then, they have been committed to instill values of sharing, giving back and reaching one’s full potential. It is Walt Whitman’s poem “I Hear America Singing” that inspired the camp’s philosophy and mission – create an atmosphere where boys and girls are treated equally and make friends with people based on their personality, traits and character. It’s a lesson that campers take home and live with it long after the camp is over.
A Big Brother or Sister gets in touch with first-time campers before they arrive at the campsite. They answer any questions newcomers ask and prepare them for the fun they are going to have.
Campers live with three staff members in cabins who provide guidance and are always there to assist in any situation. Food is diverse – breakfast, lunch and dinner are complimented with several snacks throughout the day.
