About Us

For over 50 years, Camp Emerson has created a safe space for boys and girls to be themselves and to be kids. We’re known for taking the time to understand each child before camp and then facilitating an experience that builds their independence and confidence. This individual attention is what makes the difference to inspire the campers and give parents confidence.

Design a Schedule as unique as YOU are

With over 50 activities to pick from, you will create a schedule that matches exactly what YOU want to do. Whether you love art, science, sports or watersports, we have it all. Choice is also our motto when it comes to our food too. Imagine a place where you can be a kid, have tons of fun and meet other kids and adults who will cheer you on every day.

We'll nurture your child the way you do

Trusting your child to someone else takes a huge leap of faith. We understand, because we are parents too. Our goal is to partner with you to set your child up for a summer experience that brings them joy, friendship and a stronger sense of self. Give your child this chance to grow and watch them thrive.
