Lodging Designed for Every Age

Our campus is divided into two distinct areas, each with lodging and facilities perfectly suited to the age and adventure of its campers.

Main Camp

The Heart of Camp Lakewood

Our younger campers (ages 6–12) stay in comfortable, dormitory-style lodges near the heart of camp. Designed for friendship and community, these cabins offer a welcoming place to relax, recharge, and spend time together after a full day of adventure.

East Camp

A Home Away From Home for Teens

Opened in 2026, East Camp's air-conditioned yurts give older campers (ages 13–17) a comfortable space to call their own. Each 30-foot yurt sleeps 12 campers and features a spacious gathering area, large screen windows, and room to relax, recharge, and build friendships after a day of adventure.

This is where I found my STRENGTH.

A camper's cabin is their first 'crew.' It's where they bond, build respect, and learn to live in a community, all guided by our trained counselors.

24/7 Supervision: All cabins are supervised by our trained counselors who live in or near the campers to provide round-the-clock support and guidance.

Cabin-mate Requests: We are happy to honor one mutual cabin-mate request per camper. Just make sure to request each other on your registration forms.

A Place to Belong: Cabin life teaches independence, problem-solving, and the joy of friendship.
