How it works

You share. You make forts. You make friends. Our Camp Friendship programs are strengthened by a village life atmosphere that brings campers together. After a fun filled day of activities, our cabins offer the perfect setting for campers to connect and feel what it means to be part of the Camp Friendship family.

We believe that the cabin is the heart of camp

Traditional campers ages 7 through 12 live in Junior Boys and Junior Girls Villages. These cabins have bunk beds, electricity, en suite bathrooms, and plenty of cabin pride!

Traditional campers ages 12 through 16 live in our co-ed Senior Villages, with separate cabins for boys and girls equipped with bunk beds, electricity, and a centrally located bath house.

Traditional campers choose their own activities and receive an individualized schedule focused on their interests.

Equestrian campers ages 9 through 16 live in our Equestrian Village directly across from the barn. The Equestrian Village has bunk beds, electricity, and en suite bathrooms. Equestrian campers participate in horse related activities all day long.
