Red Oak, Red Barn and Chincapin Camps excel locally with their ability to offer a wide variety of exciting age-appropriate opportunities for boys and girls. All campers develop self-reliance and leadership skills, while investigating nature, and building new friendships. The camp boasts a newly completed climbing tower and zip line for developing advanced climbing skills, in addition to their challenging ropes course. Campers enjoy traditional camp activities, including archery, backpacking, canoeing, climbing, tennis, swimming, as well as the opportunity to develop interests in science and camp crafts under the guidance of our experienced staff. Chincapin campers enjoy advancing through their horseback riding program.

Red Oak's Water Rocks Trails is a residence/trip camp for boys and girls ages 11 to 14. This program provides a fun, outdoor adventure experience that promotes growth, responsibility, and a solid work ethic. There are three separate 14-day sessions that you can choose throughout the summer. Campers are challenged to work together, develop outdoor leadership skills, practice eco friendly camping, and function autonomously as they embark on short climbing, canoeing, or backpacking trips, depending on the selected session. The program is designed so campers can participate in one or more sessions, and each session focuses on a different skill. During each session, campers are taught general camping skills, including outdoor cooking, trip preparation and packing, and low impact camping skills.

Campers will also do group activities and games that teach leadership, cooperation and communication. Campers also acquire and practice skills related to the session’s theme. For example, for the Water session, campers will spend most of their time working on skills related to canoeing and basic water safety. These skills are practiced in camp and in local wilderness areas before venturing deeper into the backcountry. There will also be time for other general camp activities, such as riflery, archery, and games.

Red Barn is a day camp for boys ages 7-12. Each day the boys participate in fun but challenging outdoor activities, which include archery, canoeing, fishing, hiking, low ropes course, softball, swimming, outdoor science, crafts, wood crafting skills and more. Campers select from a wide menu of activities, and are encouraged to try all activities. Swimming lessons are mandatory.

Chincapin is a day for girls ages 8-12. The girls’ camp program includes the same challenges of climbing, rappelling, backpacking and canoeing activities as the young men’s’ programs, as well as archery, canoeing, fishing, hiking, low ropes course, softball, swimming, outdoor science, and crafts. Chincapin campers receive riding and horse care lessons 4 days a week. Chincapin's instruction focuses on safety, an appreciation of the sport, good riding form, and care for the animals.

Red Oak now also offers several other one week programs, including our Co-Ed Adventure Day Camp for boys and girls 7 to 12; the Chincapin Equestrian Extension Week, which features a week of riding lessons for girls 8 to 15; and our Girls Out of State Adventure Trip.
