Behind every unforgettable summer memory is a team of counselors who spent weeks learning how to build it. From rigorous safety protocols to the art of making sure every single camper feels included, our staff training is where the magic is engineered.

We’re doing the work now so your kids can have the best summer of their lives. Are you ready?

We are so happy to congratulate Matty and Bree on their engagement!

Matty and Bree met here at Camp Alvernia as counselors in training (CITs), and now they’re both supervisors of different age groups at camp! What’s more, they’re both full time educators!

Drop a ❤️ and your well wishes in the comments. We are so lucky to have these two wonderful humans leading our staff and campers.

Brand new swimmer or future lifeguard? It doesn't matter here!

Every camper takes a Swim Test on their first day. We make sure every child feels safe, capable, and ready to splash. By the end of the summer, they’ll be splashing with a whole new level of confidence.

Wave goodbye to water worries!

The countdown is officially ON!

We chatted with our Herons & Eagles at movie night a couple of weeks back to see what they’re most excited for this summer. The verdict? The hype is real! From catching up with best friends to getting back out on the water for sailing, camp season can’t come soon enough.

What are YOU counting down the days for? Drop it in the comments!
