Island
Lake is located in the beautiful Pocono Mountains in northeastern Pennsylvania.
The picturesque setting of our 550 acre property includes two large lakes for our abundance of water sports and many trails to accommodate our Equestrian, Mountain Biking, and Pioneering programs.
Our
campers are housed in comfortable cabins which include a bathroom containing
two showers, two stalls, and three sinks. Each cabin has a covered porch
and glass windows with screens. The beds are separated by half-walls,
affording each camper extra privacy. There are cubbies and hanging space
in every bunk with a dresser and an outlet next to each bed, making all
of our campers' living accommodations as comfortable as possible. There
are approximately 12 campers living in each bunk with 3 counselors, ensuring
proper supervision of every child.
Enjoy
your meals in our modern, cafeteria-style dining room. Our breakfasts include
a choice of cold cereals, as well as a hot entrée ranging from
bagels to pancakes to French toast. For lunch and dinner, we offer a choice
of several main courses, overabundant salad bars, fresh fruits, juices
and milk. Of course, we also offer a vegetarian course with each
meal. Our meals would not be complete without our homemade desserts, prepared
daily by our own baker. Bon Appetit!
Island
Lake boasts a huge, new, air-conditioned infirmary furnished with modern
equipment. Our doctor and six nurses are prepared to handle any medical
needs that may arise.
Island
Lake has an Olympic-size swimming pool in addition to our 2 on-campus

building so the children can spend their creative time in the fresh air.
A circus building invites the children to participate in the many exciting
activities along with indoor and outdoor flying trapezes. The equestrian
center houses 24 horses along with an outdoor ring and many trails throughout
the camp. The Island Lake Theater contains digital lighting, professional
sound and attached technical theater departments and rehearsal rooms,
allowing the campers to perform in a professional setting. Dance studios,
a magic building, three music studios and science center, including computer

to enjoy. The pioneering program includes a 17-station challenge course,
2 climbing towers and the exciting giant swing as well as a zip line.
Each
night, after evening activity, we all head for the canteen where you can
have snacks and socialize with your friends.The canteen offers you hamburgers,
cheeseburgers, hot dogs, soda, ice cream, hot pretzels, popcorn, nachos,
and a large selection of your favorite candies and healthy snacks. It's
