UNPLUG, EXPLORE, BELONG. Nestled in the lakes of Kosciusko County, Indiana, Camp Crosley is located on the shores of Lake Tippecanoe. For over 100 years, Camp Crosley’s primary focus has been to help young individuals learn life skills, build character, and develop meaningful relationships while keeping God at the forefront. Camp Crosley works with each camper to instill attitudes and practices of leadership – all while having fun at the waterfront, campfires, archery, and so much more! When people experience Camp Crosley, they know that they belong to a place that transforms lives.
Summer Camps
Camp Crosley offers exciting, value-based camping for boys and girls ages 6-15. Campers enjoy a plethora of activities, all while learning new skills and developing meaningful friendships.
With a balance of feeling secure and trying new things, our nurturing environment creates an unforgettable first overnight experience. Realizing the importance of playing hard and getting enough sleep, we have an easier schedule and an earlier bedtime. Pathfinders are our youngest group of campers. Campers are here for one full week. During that time, they are participating in activities that are designed for their age group. Pathfinders are placed in villages with other campers their age, along with a minimum of two trained counselors.
During the Pathfinders program, we encourage your child to:
- Grow in independence
- Explore new interests
- Make camp friends
The Explorers program is designed for children ages 9 and 10. This age knows how to make everything fun – young enough to still be silly, but old enough to crave adventure and push limits. We go all out in making this a week for building self-confidence in their ability to try new things, as well as connect with others. Each cabin will host 10-12 campers, and a minimum of two trained counselors.
In the Explorers program, we encourage your child to:
- Grow in self-confidence
- Develop new skills
- Explore meaningful friendships
The Trailblazer’s program is designed for children ages 11 and 12. We know kids at this age need a place to feel understood and connected. Through epic, goal-oriented activities, campers will gain a sense of belonging and an appreciation for community.
In the Trailblazers program, we encourage your child to:
- Pursue deeper relationships
- See their intrinsic value
- Grow in self-confidence through teamwork
The Challengers program is designed for children ages 13 through 15. We understand that as teens become more independent, they face more challenges and distractions than ever before. We help campers recapture the simple joys of being outside and building personal connections. They think they are ready to grow up, but it only takes one serious water balloon fight to realize they still want to be kids.
In the Challengers program, we encourage your child to:
- Strengthen their sense of community
- Take ownership of their actions
- Have a positive influence on others
Camp Crosley’s Leader in Training (L.I.T.) program is designed to help 16- and 17-year-olds develop leaderships skills and attributes that will allow them to successfully navigate their transition into young adulthood. Because we believe successful leadership is accomplished through service, our L.I.T. program is designed to be an opportunity to serve others and give back to the camp and community that has given our L.I.T.s a place to belong. L.I.T.s will get a feel for what it is like to be a counselor at Camp Crosley by working with younger campers in the morning skill clinics, assisting with our day camp, and, of course, joining in on some of their favorite classic camp activities. In addition to this experience-based learning, L.I.T.s will participate in small-group experiences built to help them improve their ability to be a part of a team, professional skills, and leadership – all through a summer camp lens.
