Progressive Program

A Dynamic Program that Grows Each Summer

One of the keys to our campers’ success is our personalization of each camper’s experience.  Willow Lake has developed age-appropriate programs, which ensure each child has a healthy, safe, and fun experience.  Our activities and equipment are specifically designed to fit the needs of campers of all ages and skill levels.

Little Willows • Pre-K & Kindergarten

Big Magic for Our Littlest Campers

Our Little Willows program is a world built just for them, featuring mini-facilities and a slower pace that honors the needs of young children. With an incredibly high counselor-to-camper ratio, air conditioned facilities, and our specialized "Frog" pool, we ensure your child’s first camp experience is overflowing with care, confidence, and comfort.

Middle Camp • Grades 1-2

Stepping Up to New Experiences

As our campers grow, so does the excitement. Middle Campers enjoy larger fields and more engaging art projects that match their developing skills. It’s a summer of firsts, including the high-energy 1st Grade Cup. In 2nd grade, campers begin choosing some of their own activities through electives and are introduced to the heights of our three-sided climbing tower.

Senior Camp • Grades 3-8

Action, Independence, and All-Out Fun

For our Senior Campers, the fun is limited only by their imagination. With an expanded elective program and optional sports leagues, these campers have the freedom to tailor their summer to their specific interests, while still spending part of each day with their group building bonds and lasting friendships.

Counselors-in-Training • Grades 9-10

From Campers to Remarkable Leaders

Our CIT program is a unique blend of responsibility and reward, designed to turn our oldest campers into confident mentors. Through hands-on experience in activity areas and specialized leadership workshops, CITs master real-world skills like group management and problem-solving – all while enjoying exclusive social events and weekly tubing trips on Lake Hopatcong with their peers.
