upon it. Our campers are all housed in spacious well-ventilated cabins. Browse through some pictures of the cabins
and our soaring dining hall.

The Units

The Activities
We have an amazing number of planned activities including water sports, land sports, and arts programs. We really believe that these activities aid in the development of our campers social, creative, and athletic skills.

Health and Safety
At Camp Walden, our first priority is keeping our campers safe. We make sure all our counselors are fully
knowledgeable about first aid procedures and our camp-specific emergency policies and procedures. We have
a doctor and four fully qualified nurses on staff so you can rest assured your child is in good hands while at
summer camp.
