Campers and staff members develop their mental, social, physical and spiritual dimensions through activities that include drama, arts-and-crafts, archery, athletics, nature and environmental education, as well as adventuresome activities such as horseback riding and rock climbing. Geneva Glen's unique and compelling themes, including Seedlings & Stardust, Myths & Magic, American Heritage, Knighthood, and World Friendship create a vibrant atmosphere encircling the camp activities. In addition to learning and having fun, our goals include empowering our participants to live at their highest level and to enrich their home communities by demonstrating what they have learned at Geneva Glen. We believe that lives are bettered at Geneva Glen. Accordingly, we encourage campers and staff members to benefit from more than one season, if at all possible.
