About the provider

Camp COLEY dates back more than 35 years. Campers are supervised by Camp COLEY leaders and Scout staff. Adult volunteers are assigned a campsite and a small group of campers for the week, and high school campers called CITs assist leaders during the day and help set up and run evening programs. Camp COLEY Cares projects include Relay for Life, Beaver Day service project, coat drive, school supplies drive, and food drive.

Open to youth entering grades 3-12. Campers are divided by grade level and gender. There is a Thursday night dance with a DJ. ATV program participation is for ages 14+.

What families say

“Sending my son to Camp COLEY was the best thing I could have done. He loved it and his first question when I picked him up was “Can I come back next year?” He learned independence for the week, which helped him when he got home.” — Camp Parent

“From swimming, to hiking, to fishing to archery to crafts, there is ALWAYS something for your child to be involved in. Everyone is included. It's a great way for your kid(s) to explore and test their own limits. Camp friends make your best friends for life.” — Camp Parent
