Activities

Special focus

Multi-activity · Sports & Outdoor

Camp Twin Creeks runs on a deliberate balance of structure and choice. Mornings belong to the cabin group: three consecutive activity periods, hand-picked and curated for that particular cabin, so campers try the full spread of arts, sports, water and adventure with the friends they live with rather than drifting off alone. Afternoons belong to the camper, with two MasterClass periods in a specialty they choose themselves — culinary arts, archery, horseback riding and more — and stay with for the entire two weeks, long enough to get genuinely better at something. The first days are intentionally scheduled around orientation and cabin games so new campers find their feet, and every day closes with an evening activity, flagpole and fuzzies awarded for the STARFISH qualities other campers and counselors notice. Woven through the fortnight are four camp-wide Special Event days, the Camper Show, the 24-hour Olympics and traditions like Polar Bear and the creek walks, all of it phone-free and shaped by the camp's Youth Development Philosophy rather than by winning.

Camp Twin Creeks was an amazing experience this summer for my two daughters! This was their first time at sleep away camp and we were thrilled with the staff and the individual attention the girls received. We loved the Dream Week option for our younger daughter, she ended up staying the full two weeks because she loved it so much! They are already looking forward to returning next summer.

When I began researching sleep away camps, I wanted to find a place where the kids would be excited to return each summer. We miss them like crazy, but we know the kids are living their best lives at Camp Twin Creeks! I appreciated my first conversation with the Camp Director, Iain, who answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable with sending my kids away for two weeks! Camp Twin Creeks is a place where everyone is welcome as part of the camp community – the staff is committed to the growth, development, safety and belonging for each individual. Communication with family members – before, during and after camp is strong. I love the daily pictures and have appreciated updates from counselors. I have a boy and a girl – and so I was looking for a co-ed camp. We started the kids at age 8 – and felt most comfortable with a two-week program. Camp Twin Creeks offers 4, two-week sessions – campers start and end the session together. The first week allows kids to adjust and get comfortable, and the second week allows them to just enjoy! My kids love the variety of activities and try a little bit of everything – sports, arts, dance, chess, camping, water activities, hiking – they have done Master Classes in watercolors, bead bracelet making, archery, basketball and chess. They have quickly formed friendships at camp and look forward to seeing the same faces year after year. There is so much beautiful space for the kids to play and explore. The kids grow so much during the two weeks they are at camp - and come home a bit more independent. There are so many camps to choose from – Camp Twin Creeks has been a great match for our family!

Camp Twin Creeks is my kids' summer home since they were 7 years old! Even in the first year, any anxieties were gone by the time the first letter arrived. Their staff and counselors do such an amazing job and getting kids acclimated, detached from electronics, and back to being the carefree kids that they need to be. My kids are now in their 7th and 8th year and my oldest will be a Junior Counselor. She missed one summer thinking she'd rather stay home and hang out with friends. What she discovered is that there is truly no place like camp and the relationships built there - and that's saying a lot of a 16 year old girl to come that conclusion on her own. I highly recommend camp - a truly one of a kind experience that they will never get to relive.

Our two daughters (8 & 11) were first time campers this summer and they had an amazing experience! The car ride home was full of crazy stories from camp, and they made some lasting friendships and memories. The counselors took great care of our girls and you can tell they truly cared for them. We already book for next year!

Safety & Supervision

Staff to camper ratio4:1

24/7 supervision

We are an ACA accredited camp. Each session, 2 or 3 nurses run our on-site Health Center. Each Camp Nurse is typically an RN, works in the field at home, and brings their own children with them while they work a session at camp! We also have a physician on call 24/7, as well as a longstanding relationship with our local Urgent Care and Hospital. Our on-site health center is a standalone facility that offers housing for our nurses as well as any inpatients during the summer sessions. All medication on camp is stored in the health center, and administered by our camp nurses.

Meals

breakfast

A hot entree plus cereal on the tables, oatmeal at the hot bar and yogurt and fresh fruit from the refrigerated bar.

lunch

Buffet lunch at 12:30 with a main dish, a side and the salad bar.

dinner

A main dish and side with the salad bar, closed out with a cookie dessert on the way to evening activities.

snacks

Afternoon snack of snack bars and fresh fruit between MasterClass periods, plus a bedtime snack.

Meals are cooked on site and planned by the kitchen staff around one simple idea: kids who are climbing, swimming and running all day need food they will actually eat. Each meal pairs a main dish with a side, and breakfast adds cereal on every table, oatmeal at the hot bar and a refrigerated bar of yogurt and fresh fruit alongside a hot entree. At lunch and dinner that same bar becomes a salad bar with greens, vegetables and dressings, and dinner finishes with a cookie dessert handed out on the way to evening activities. Between the three meals there is an afternoon snack of snack bars and fresh fruit and a snack again at bedtime. Camp Twin Creeks is a nut-free camp, and an allergy coordinator works with families before the summer and with the kitchen through each session so that gluten-free, dairy-free and vegetarian campers eat as well as everyone else. One meal is a tradition in itself: on the last night, the Banquet Dinner serves chicken and waffles, a nod to the hotel that stood on the property in the late 1800s.
