Whether this is your child’s first time away from home or they’re ready for a new summer camp adventure, they’ll experience lifelong personal development and become thoughtful leaders as they discover their truest self.

Camper Story

As a kid, I was shy and quiet except for a couple close friends. However, at Camp Fern, my counselors encouraged me to be outgoing and confident. It helped foster my love for nature that still continues. As a counselor, I was allowed to teach my love of nature to campers and work alongside some great counselors. The communication, compassion, confidence I learned at Camp Fern has made all the difference in my pursuit into the medical field.

Parent Story

Camp Fern helped raise my children. By experiencing life away from parents and the shelter of their normal routine, they learned to be independent humans capable of making decisions and having confidence in their abilities. Camp Fern helped them discover their true identity, rather than the one they put forth for school or social media. To this day my kids refer to their best self when they were growing up as who they were at Camp Fern.
