    My oldest adult child came to Camp Conrad Weiser for 8 years as a camper and CIT and continued working as a counselor thereafter. My youngest is now starting his summer at the mountains and enjoying every bit of it. This is the most affordable sleep away camp as well.

    My children started going to Camp Conrad Weiser 8 years ago and have had wonderful experiences. It’s well run with staff and counselors dedicated to making sure the children feel welcome and have a great experience. They have left each year with new friends and looking forward to the next years adventures.

Things to know

Cancellation Policy

All deposits are refundable until February 1, 2021. If a cancellation occurs after February 1, 2021, but at least 60 days prior to the beginning of the session, payments will be refunded, MINUS the deposit. After this time, no refund will be given and families are responsible for paying any remaining balances. If programs are canceled due to a pandemic, families can receive a full refund, or transfer their tuition to a future year.

Covid Measures

We are implementing NPIs (non-pharmaceutical interventions) as recommended by the American Camp Association and the CDC. Additionally, we will need to follow Pennsylvania Summer Camp Guidelines when they are made available. Currently, our programs are designed to meet 2021 standards as we await further guidance for 2022. If a camper or staff person tests positive prior to the program, they will not be eligible to participate in the program until they test negative or until 10 days have passed with no symptoms. If a camper or staff person tests positive during the program, the full counselor group will receive rapid tests and be contained from the rest of the camp population. Our program design allows for this with little disruption to the camper experience. Campers will need to convalesce at home, but are welcome to return after receiving a negative test or 10 days symptom-free. The parents of all campers in the counselor group will be notified by the Camp when there is a positive test. Families in unaffected counselor groups will not be notified immediately, but will receive updates.

Health & Safety

Camp has a licensed RN on staff. The local clinic and two hospitals, only minutes away, provide additional medical care. Parents will be notified by the Camp Nurse or Camp Director in the event of a significant injury or illness requiring doctor’s care. Parents are responsible for medical bills that require doctor’s care and prescription medication. The complete physical exam, including an updated health history, must be completed online 2 weeks prior to your child’s first session. Regulations require each camper to have a licensed physician’s medical examination within the past 12-24 months. No camper will be admitted into camp without an up to date health history/physical medical exam. Upon arrival, all campers are subject to a health screening to check for observable evidence of illness, injury or communicable diseases. No camper will be admitted to camp in the event of a positive screening.
