"The mission of Geneva Glen is to develop character, values and leadership, nurtured by a camp family that thrives on its diversity, friendships and meaningful traditions."
Our goal is to provide youth with a summer camp experience that:
- Stimulates love for and care of the natural world.
- Promotes discovery of one's own dignity and worth.
- Encourages respect for all races, creeds, and backgrounds.
- Develops commitment to enduring values and respect.
- Inspires service and responsibility to foster exemplary school and community leaders.
Campers achieve these goals through activities and programs led by skilled counselors. These young-adult leaders conduct a varied and exciting program including horseback riding, swimming, outdoor adventure programming (hiking, camping, rappelling, ropes course, etc.), archery, cook-outs, music, dance, drama, arts and crafts, pageantry, rich ceremony, and much more. Our success can be measured by the high rate of returning campers and staff members -- on average 70% of campers and 65% of staff return to Geneva Glen each summer. Geneva Glen is one of very few camps able to boast fifth generation campers.
Geneva Glen has been regarded as "magic." It is a place "out of time," it transcends fashion, and liberates from the pressures of the popular. Geneva Glen seeks to empower all campers and staff to live at their highest level and to enrich their home communities by virtue of their substance and strength of character, enlarged through their Geneva Glen experience.
