CAMP TREETOPS
Camp Treetops welcomes 180 boys and girls ages 8-14 for 4- and 7-week sessions. Since its founding in 1921, Camp Treetops has been a place where children from the U.S. and around the world come together for a summer of growth and friendship. Each year, approximately 30 campers join us from a wide range of countries – one in six campers is international. With plenty of time to create, and space to be themselves, they explore lakes and mountains and become strong, independent, and part of a community.
English Enrichment Being immersed in camp culture and activities – and interacting with native English speakers – campers make incredible strides in language acquisition. Campers with limited English make quick progress in listening, speaking, and comprehension in our supportive community. English enrichment classes – individual and small group – meet three times a week. “The opportunities in establishing close relationships with wonderful caring people will help her all the way through her lifetime. She received the highest score on her English for this term, thanks to Alexandra who taught her English. I am proud that I could be a part of this as a parent.” (2016 Parent) “He couldn’t stop telling me about the wonderful time he had during the camp, and how nice were all teachers to him. I am so happy to see that not only his English improved a lot, but he is also more mature than before. I think this experience was incredible to him. Thank you all for making this summer so wonderful and meaningful for him.” (2016 Parent)
