Supportive Counselors and Engaging Programs
Our Upper Camp program is tailored to meet the unique needs of pre-teens and teens, many of whom have grown up at Camp Westwoods. We focus on providing age-appropriate activities that spark creativity and foster personal growth. Our counselors are carefully selected for their maturity and experience in working with this age group. In addition to daily activities, Upper Campers participate in special programs, field trips, athletic events (like track-letics and Olympics week), fun carnivals, and the popular camp dance.
All campers are expected to adhere to camp rules and manage their own behavior. If your child may need additional support to ensure a positive camp experience, please reach out to us before the session begins.
