At Camp Warren we believe that a session of camp can make a profound impact on a young person’s life. The Summer of 2012 is shaping up to be another fantastic year. I hope you’ll join us for at least one of our unique single-gender camp sessions.

While at Warren, campers have the opportunity to live independently in a supportive community where they can: meet new friends, try new activities, explore the natural world and gain self-reliance. Activities are designed with skill progression in mind but in a non-competitive atmosphere. For over 80 years, our well trained, energetic staff team (most of whom were once campers themselves) has provided the environment to foster this growth.
