What is a Traditional Summer Camp?
A Traditional Summer Camp is the classic all-American camp experience, filled with adventure, friendships, and lifelong memories. These camps are co-ed, overnight, and packed with activities, giving campers a summer they’ll never forget.
Most traditional camps are family-run or family-owned and have been operating for generations, creating a strong sense of community and belonging. Many campers return year after year, eventually becoming Camp Counsellors themselves!
At a traditional camp, campers are usually divided into a girls’ village and a boys’ village, with Camp Counsellors living in cabins alongside the campers to provide support, guidance, and plenty of fun.

A Typical Day at a Traditional Summer Camp
Every day at camp brings new adventures, traditions, and activities, making each experience unique!
Camps follow their own traditions, from morning flag-raising ceremonies to evening campfires filled with songs and s’mores. Many camps also have legendary events, such as Colour War – an intense but friendly competition that gets the whole camp involved!
Throughout the day, campers take part in a variety of exciting activities, from sports and arts to water-based adventures like canoeing and swimming. Each camp also has its own unique landmarks, such as a totem pole, lakeside amphitheatre, or historic dining hall where everyone gathers for meals.
Cabin groups and camp tribes become like families, forming strong bonds and making memories that last a lifetime.
Campers often return summer after summer, with many eventually becoming Camp Counsellors themselves!
