Considering a 4-Week Option?

Happy Campers making a heart with their hands

Camp Towanda is a full-season summer camp, but we understand that committing to a full summer can feel like a big step—especially for first-time campers!

That’s why we offer a one-time, 4-week option for new campers as a safety net. While most campers quickly settle in, thrive and decide to stay the entire summer, this option gives families peace of mind.
