Camp Choconut For Boys 9-15
Building Confidence and Self-Reliance
Through Woodland Activities Since 1896

Camp Choconut's pristine private lake and miles of Pennsylvania forest provide the setting for a boy's camp with limited enrollment. Boys get lots of individual attention while learning that they CAN do things for themselves that they may not have imagined before.

Camp Choconut offers a safe place for boys to explore in a clean, natural setting under the supervision of counselors who are carefully chosen as good role models. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive, and fun community based on cooperation, simplicity, and responsibility. Our overnight camp or sleep-away camp allows for the boys to experience living away from home in a safe and friendly environment.

The bell in the center of camp marks our day. It wakes us up, calls us to meals, and marks the time. It can be heard as it echoes across the lake and deep into the woods.

When it rings continuously, it’s known as The Assembly Bell, and campers come running. This rule keeps us ready in the event of an emergency, but usually just signals the start of a Big Game.

We have two "details" every morning, mandatory periods where the boys learn archery, knife, hatchet and map reading skills, make things in the wood shop, work on group construction projects, and gardening.
That is followed by a compulsory swim where we work on building skills so they can pass the Lake Test, a 1/4-mile swim.

After drying off, it is time for milkshakes, which is followed by Jury, where the boys meet together with the Director to solve and discuss camp issues as a group.

Then it is lunch, rest period and free time. Counselors announce where they will be and the boys are welcome to choose their activity or make their own. Either way they are supported in an activity they want to do.

Then it is dinner, where cereal is always available (an old camp tradition), followed by the evening game and bed.

This routine is punctuated by special events – bonfires, campouts, hikes, evening swims, stargazing during meteor showers and trips.

We take the boys on a clear night to our fields to look at the heavens through, to a dry creek bed littered with fossils they can collect, and to a magical land of waterfalls, they can play in and sit under.

Then there are the Big Games. The Flour Bomb Wars have two teams of boys armed with paper lunch bags filled with baking flour. They must attack and defend a cabin simultaneously.

The most anticipated of the Big Games is the Villa Hunt. It’s origins date back to World War One. Pancho Villa and his Raiding Party are secretly chosen and spend weeks preparing to raid the camp. When the whole camp is together, they run shouting through the assembly, then disappear into the woods. The boys and counselors break into teams and scramble to get their things together for a three-day game of hide-and-seek over a square mile of woods, fields and streams.

Our program is designed to help boys rise above their limitations and learn self-respect. They do their best to meet expectations not from threat of punishment, but from a sense of responsibility to others. They have so much fun; they don’t realize they’re growing.

We would like to welcome you to Forest Lake Camp, one of America’s great sleepaway camps since 1926!

Our camp was founded by H.T. Confer, and remains in family hands to this day. Since 1926, thousands and thousands of boys and girls have experienced the wonders of Forest Lake Camp, gaining independence, developing self-confidence, establishing strong new friendships, touching the majesty of the outdoor world, and sampling an extraordinarily broad range of activities never experienced before.

Camp Cory is located on the shores of Keuka Lake, just outside Penn Yan, New York in the heart of the Finger Lakes region. Only 60 miles from the city of Rochester, Camp Cory offers 27 beautiful acres along with three beautiful waterfront areas for swimming, sailing, canoeing and a variety of other water activities.

Campers sleep 8 to a cabin with one or two counselors assigned to live in every cabin. Accommodations are basic and bathrooms are shared. The youngest campers have bathrooms and showers inside their cabin, while the older campers use modern bathouses. All meals are enjoyed "family style" in the dining hall and there is a daily opportunity to visit the Camp Store for treats and treasures. A modest amount of money can be put in the camper's "bank" during Sunday registration for use throughout the session.

Campers arrive on Sunday afternoons and depart Saturday mornings. Transportation is available to/from Camp for an additional fee. Campers staying consecutive weeks can remain at camp between sessions through our stayover program. Cabin assignments are made prior to arrival and are based on information provided on the registration materials. There is an opportunity to request one roommate on the form. Campers are placed in cabins with other campers of similar age and grade.

Our staff receives extensive training in leadership skills, first aid and safety, as well as the various program areas. The majority of our staff are also certified lifeguards. Since some of our counselors are international students, campers often have the opportunity of getting to know staff members from all over the world!

Camp Cory also offers 9 Sessions of Day Camp as well as year round programming and rentals.

From our first trip exploring the western USA and Canada, we could never have imagined how many thousands of teens would come to share in our spirited groups and travel with us on 7 program types in 6 continents throughout 19 countries .

30 years ago, Westcoast Connection / 360° Student Travel began with a modest goal of using exciting, memorable travel to teach and inspire teenagers and to enhance their understanding of themselves along the way. Our philosophy of “EACH & EVERY” is the cornerstone of our programs; “EACH” focuses on respecting the individual, looking for what makes each student unique and avoiding a one size fits all approach while “EVERY” reminds us that no matter how incredible a site like Bryce Canyon or Machu Picchu might be, the experience would fall below expectations unless we created tightly knit groups where everybody is included in an enriching program. With amazing sights, activities, accommodations and restaurants, there's no doubt that Westcoast Connection will show you the "perfectly planned, perfectly paced" summer of a lifetime.

"For Fun, For Friends, Forever;" this is the heart of the Onyahsa experience- for the new camper or the veteran. Since its inception well over a century ago, YMCA Camp Onyahsa has been a great place for youth and families. Then as now, it offers security, authenticity, peace, and exciting fun; as necessary today as ever. In a beautiful wooded setting, on the edge of the lake, we don't only enjoy recreation; we aim to "re-create" in the Great Outdoors.

Celebrating its 112th year in 2010, Camp Onyahsa offers an exciting, genuine, and rewarding experience for any camper. Nestled in its own wooded bay on northern Chautauqua Lake, we offer traditional camp sessions, specialty camps, academic programs, teen activities, leadership development programs, extensive waterfront classes, outdoor environmental education, and much more. Each of our weeks has a fun theme as the focus of its activities, and is implemented by caring, committed and competent staff members.

Campers live in rustic single-sex, age-graded cabins or tents under the supervision of carefully selected and trained staff members. The Camp's directors and health staff also reside on site, and provide 24 hour per day supervision, and the Camp has a staff to camper ratio of at least 1:8.

All campers participate together in our special activities, such as campfires, skits, Club Time, theme nights, Olympic games, village nights, and other all-camp programs. Meanwhile, through age-group cabin and tent living with their adult counselors, campers learn as members of small groups to share and live cooperatively. The activities and living areas are staffed with well-qualified and highly committed counselors, who share the goal of making a stay at Onyahsa a truly rewarding experience for all members of the Camp Community.

The Onyahsa mission is to foster the healthy Spiritual, Intellectual, and Physical well-being of Camp Participants from diverse backgrounds within a nurturing outdoor environment, while creating a meaningful sense of Community among them through an active learning experience.

Here we seek to encourage Spiritual growth- through a non-denominational stress on compassion, social justice, human rights, and the strengthening of faith in a loving Creator; Intellectual growth by fostering tolerance, self-awareness, and multi-cultural mutual understanding- the foundations of peace; Physical health, an appreciation for the gift of life and a responsibility to nurture it; and the creation of Community- an authentic experience of belonging created by diverse members who share traditional common values including honesty, caring, respect, and responsibility.

The Onyahsa experience is set in a beautiful, natural outdoor environment, and is fostered by committed, caring and competent staff members and volunteers. Our goal is to provide a genuine, safe, healthy, and happy camp experience for youth and families through life-enriching, "back-to-basics" organized summer and year-round programs.

Join us for this wonderful, exciting, and necessary experience. And whether it's for the first time or the hundredth, Come Home to Camp Onyahsa.
