Our unique Boys and Girls Camps offer a totally natural living experience and exceptional education. All campers and instructors live in rustic Adirondack style shelters. Campers learn to make what they need for wilderness comfort. We are here to provide Basic Living and Environmental Education experiences which encourage personal growth and self confidence in our campers.

All of our Summer Boys and Girls Camps activities promote positive growth through fun and exciting learning opportunities. We also provide quiet time for reflection where youth can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships with others. Turtle Island Preserve offers an excellent outdoor classroom where hands on activities breathe life into Native American and Colonial history, as well as the natural sciences. We believe learning should be fun.

Our Summer Camps provide youth with a strong experiential foundation and motivation for cultural and scientific studies. Summer camp is "our gift to the world". Over 15 professional educators-not just college students as is standard in summer camps, but a clan of extraordinary, unique individuals are chosen for their excellence in their field. These professionals come together to create a phenomenal community with a staff to student ratio of better than 1:2.

Turtle Island Boys and Girls Camp offers a totally unique living experience and exceptional education. Each camper will be under the guidance of professional staff who have the integrity, personality and outdoor living skills necessary to make a lasting, positive impression on every camper's life. Living close to nature brings understanding, appreciation and love for our environment. We explore our essential needs and learn to fulfill them together.
