Founded in 1931, Walden has been a summer home for thousands of full and half summer campers and is fully accredited by the American Camp Association.

The Walden philosophy attracts families looking for a down-to-earth, well-grounded community. Walden is a camp that offers a wide variety of program activities while also fostering a warm, family-orientated feeling, where campers feel safe and comfortable. Our nurturing environment is designed with intent and purpose, which makes first-time campers feel as welcome as campers who have been with us for years.

Our well-rounded program provides campers with a balance between scheduled and elective periods. Scheduled periods provide campers with exposure to every camp activity and ensure they cultivate strong relationships with their peers, while elective periods allow campers to focus on activities they enjoy most.
