Camp Culture
At Camp Icaghowan, we nurture character development through the values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and equity. Our well-trained counselors lead quality programs that are safe, fun and enriching.
Campers will:
- Develop integrity, self-reliance and leadership skills.
- Build friendships that could last a lifetime.
- Enrich spirit, mind and body through challenging and fun activities.
- Gain an appreciation for the natural environment.
- Experience a sense of community by living with campers in small age-appropriate, single-gender groups (8–12 campers and two staff members).
