With six one-week sessions and one two-week session each summer, Camp Downer welcomes campers of all genders, ages 8 to 16, to dive into a world of excitement. Whether they’re making a splash in our aquatics programs, testing their skills in archery and riflery, making a goal in soccer, exploring nature, or expressing their creativity through arts and music, every day is packed with opportunities for fun and personal growth.
But what truly sets Camp Downer apart is our incredible community. Campers don’t just have fun—they form deep connections, build confidence, and become part of something bigger than themselves. Year after year, they return to rekindle friendships that last a lifetime.
