Reasons To Go

6 Reasons to go to Valley Forge Summer Camp!

1. Meet someone new 

We offer a fun and safe environment where 6-17 year olds can build self-confidence and leadership while trying new and exciting challenges and skills with counselors and campers from around the block - and around the world. 

 

2. Try something new

Want to learn how to scuba dive? Rappel down a 40 foot wall? Ride a horse? Most Valley Forge camps make room for elective activities - so kids can try out everything from sailing to karate, without having to commit a whole camp to it. 

 

3. Academic options

How do you cover school subjects in the summer... and still end up with a happy camper? At Valley Forge, you can combine concentrated instruction (in Mathematics, Composition, Creative Writing, Reading, Developmental Reading, even College SAT Prep) in a program that still makes time for fun day and overnight activities. And class ratios are great - between 5 and 10 students per teacher. This year some of our classes even count towards summer school.

 

4. Schedule friendly

We pride ourselves on fun and flexibility - offering unique elective activities that allow campers to customize their experience, as well as parent-friendly options like an extended day (at no additional charge) that allows busy parents to fit camp more easily into their schedules – dropping day campers off as early as 7:00am and picking them up as late as 6:00pm.

 

5. Free extras

Beyond our free extended day, how many camps go beyond the standard t-shirt to give you two complete uniforms? And yes, there is one place in the world that still offers a free lunch: Valley Forge Summer Camp.

 

6. Bunk 1 Camper/Parent Communication 

Valley Forge Summer Camps offers parents of overnighters an easy way to communicate with their camper as well as view photos and/or videos of them in action at camp.
