NEWS ALERT!!! While it is no surprise the bonds built at sleepaway camp are as strong as oak, now there is scientific evidence that explains (and proves) that camp friends really are the best friends.

Camp is one giant group activity on many different levels. From all camp evening activities and special events to division and bunk activities and even just a shared elective period with a friend, there are endless group experiences.
