🧗‍♀️4 DAYS UNTIL REGISTRATION OPENS!🧗‍♀️

At Camp Cory, camp life is all about trying new things, stepping out of your comfort zone, and discovering what you're truly capable of.

Every day, our campers dive into incredible programs across camp, including High Ropes, Low Ropes, Outdoor Activities, Outdoor Cooking, Sailing, Stand-up Paddle Board, Canoeing and Kayaking, Fishing, STEM, Target Sports, Arts & Crafts, Aqua Fun, Athletics, Dance, Drama, Guitar, and Lawn Games.

What makes the experience so special? Our campers get to help choose their own classes by ranking their preferences. Their daily schedule is completely catered to what they prefer to do. Because they practice these chose activities every single day at camp, they aren't just having fun, they are consistently advancing their skills, tracking their progress, and learning life lessons along the way!

Camp Cory gives kids the power to choose, the space to grow, and the tools to succeed!

🏕️7 DAYS UNTIL REGISTRATION OPENS!🏕️

Why is camp important? There are a lot of reasons, but one of the biggest is that camp gives kids a place to just be kids.

At Camp Cory, campers get to take a break from screens and spend their days outside, swimming in the lake, exploring camp, trying new activities, making friends, and having fun. We are a technology-free environment where campers have the opportunity to be present and really experience everything camp has to offer.

But camp is also about feeling like you belong. We want every camper who walks on our property to feel welcome, accepted, and comfortable being themselves. Whether it’s your first summer at Camp Cory or you’ve been coming for years, our goal is to make camp feel like a home away from home.

Camp gives kids the chance to try things they may not have tried before, become more independent, make new friends, build confidence, and create memories they’ll carry with them long after summer is over.

Most importantly, we want every camper to know that there is a place for them here!

7 days until registration opens! We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Camp Cory!

☀🎃👻 SPOOKY DAY AT CAMP CORY! 👻🎃☀

Our campers traded their usual camp gear for costumes, decorated their very own treat bags, and went trick-or-treating all around camp!
From spooky surprises to sweet treats, it was a day full of costumes, laughs, and a little bit of camp magic!

Who says spooky season can’t happen in the summer?!

Even with the rain, spirits were high and the silly faces were out in full force. 😂

Ruonan Hui has enjoyed her first summer as a camp counselor here at Camp Cory, as she is one of the first staff to join us in our international program from China.

As a schoolteacher herself, Ruonan loved seeing kids enjoy camp's reading program this summer. But as someone whose first language is not English, she has learned from her kids just as much as they have learned from the program. 📚
