Day Camp

Day Camp

Discover a summer of adventure and growth at Camp Kresge. Our 1,100-acre property, set on the scenic shores of Beaver Lake in the Poconos, provides the perfect backdrop for campers ages 5-16 to explore, learn, and create lasting memories.

Campers will register by age. Each age group will be divided into 2-3 smaller Trail Groups.

Each day brings a new opportunity for fun and achievement. Campers will challenge themselves on our climbing tower, launch into the water from our expansive Aqua Park, and develop focus with archery. Our diverse, age-appropriate programs also include boating, arts & crafts, team-building games, and nature hikes, all designed to build confidence and encourage new friendships.

We make the camp experience straightforward for parents. The all-inclusive fee covers all programs, daily lunch, and convenient bus transportation to and from Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, Mountain Top, Pittston, Drums, Freeland, White Haven, and Hazleton.

Join us for our greatest summer yet at Camp Kresge!
