About

For over 50 years, Camp Christmas Tree has provided a wonderful place for campers to experience outdoor adventures and fun. Hope to see you this summer!

Hear the camp songs. Hear the laughter. Hear the outdoors (chirp). It’s camp time! Few environments are as distinctive and vibrant as camp. Here, kids become a community as they learn independence and group contribution – at the same time. Here, physical, social and educational activities pack kids’ days with discovery, friendship and wonder.

For ages 4-14.

Scholarships

We provide needs-based scholarships called Personal Pricing Plans to make camp more affordable. We take several factors - annual income, the number of adults in your home, and the number of dependents - and use them to determine your fee. Learn more about scholarships.
