In our program we call “Burt,” senior highers live together in a Camp Lakewood cabin with the help of a caring, earnest, dedicated staff.

We build a strong community that fosters personal growth and leadership skills. Burt is a place where all are welcome Couples and singles, with and without and life-long friendships are formed.  For more information, you may contact Tom Clowes, Sr. High Co-Coordinator, by going to the Contact Us page and selecting Senior High Programming.

Entering 7th, 8th or 9th grades

The Jr. High program is nicknamed “Meyer” after the building we occupied in earlier years at Lake Geneva.* Using team-building initiatives, small and large group bonding exercises and social justice workshops, our goal is to create safe places for sharing, healthy communities and new views of the world we live in. All Meyer activities are designed to support the emotional and spiritual growth of Jr. High youth. We strive to ground our program in anti-oppressive models of community, and believe strongly in encouraging and supporting youth empowerment.  For more information, you may contact Kate Fey and Alison Lubbs, Jr. High Co-Coordinators, by going to the Contact Us page and selecting Junior High Programming.
