JUNIOR PROGRAM (9 and younger):  Junior campers travel as a cabin group with their cabin counselor to activities designed for their age group.  Certain activity sites offer electives which allows the juniors some choice in their programming.  Counselors are specially chosen for their experience and ability to work with younger campers. 

Regardless of age or program format, particular attention is paid to camper supervision and safety throughout the day.  Program activities are instructed with appropriate emphasis on skill development and FUN!

INTER/SENIOR PROGRAM (10 and older):  Older campers get to choose all of their activities at Lohikan.  Activities are chosen on a weekly basis and adjusted daily.  You can adjust your schedule to travel with friends or specialize in as many activities as you want.  The choice is yours!

TEEN PROGRAM:  The individualized format of our daily program is ideal for teens.  In addition to the free choice, activities are coed for teenagers.  Certain evening activities and special events are also geared for our oldest campers like: Senior Beach Parties, DJ Disco Extravaganzas, Socials, Senior Trips, Extended Curfew and Snack Bar/Game Room time, Lohikan’s Lollapalooza Concerts, and lots more!  Teenagers who want to continue their camping experience can join our junior staff program and participate in our leadership training course which after 2 summers of participation will guarantee them a full staff position at camp the following summer.

FIRST-TIME CAMPER PROGRAM:  First-time campers are our specialty!  We have a comprehensive program designed to make the first-time camp experience an easy and ultimately successful endeavor.  We even offer first-time camping families a unique Great Camp Guarantee which provides for a tuition refund if the camper leaves camp early.  Details of Lohikan’s First-Time Camper Program are available by clicking here.

CAMP MISSION:  Our mission is to provide the staff, the program and a wholesome environment where each camper will reach his/her potential with respect to the arts, sports and interpersonal skills, and with positive encouragement, develop a greater sense of self esteem and self confidence.

MEDICAL STAFF:  A camp physician is in residence the entire summer.  In addition to the camp doctor, 5 registered nurses and 3 assistants staff the camp health center which is open 24 hours a day.  Our 50 year safety record is impeccable.
