A Warm and Welcoming Community
Camp Walt Whitman is fortunate to attract particularly nice kids
and a strong, motivated staff. Our campers are encouraged to be
active participants, willing to stretch themselves to try new things.
We provide excellent instruction to help our campers improve in
all of the physical skills at camp, while focusing on the care and
attention that help them to develop their potential as individuals
and as members of the group.
Walt Whitman is a community that encourages friendship,
leadership and the ability to make good choices. Herein lies the
spirit and warmth that is incomparable in a summer camp!
Walt Whitman is a special place that stays
in the hearts of our campers throughout
their lives.
Commitment to Excellence
After years of experience as camp directors, we are proud that one of our
most important roles is to enable staff to make a difference in a child's life.
The counselors and specialty staff at Walt Whitman serve as positive role models,
encouraging and supporting campers to stretch themselves. Whether learning new skills
in sports, aquatics, arts or outdoor living, campers thrive
in an environment of FUN, GOOD HUMOR AND OPTIMISM.
Staff development is a priority at Camp Walt Whitman. Through close
involvement with our entire staff, we provide the support, direction and
supervision that make camp a safe, fun-filled and happy community. Many
of the leadership team as well as our specialists and cabin counselors return
summer after summer. We personally interview every applicant and maintain the
highest standards for becoming a member of our staff. Each of our
program areas is led by a specialist with professional training and experience.
Many of our athletic staff are coaches and teachers who offer expert instruction
in an atmosphere of fun and safety. Two full-time, college age cabin
counselors devote all their energies every day to the care and well being of their
campers. Our values and commitment are ingrained in every person
who works with children at our camp.
We recognize that we are partners in your child's development. Through our consistent
participation and interaction with each group, we know every child's needs. This may
mean noticing when a child needs a hug or the kind of reassurance that you would give
if you were there.
Our "hands-on" approach, dedication to excellence and belief in accountability are the
cornerstones of the mutual trust and respect that we establish among children, staff
and parents.
