CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Underlying all the joy and merriment that shapes each day at Lochearn is a commitment and thoughtful approach from the directors and staff to create and sustain a caring community which encourages and celebrates the goodness in children and which helps each child move into the world with a sense of security and optimism. Imagine a community committed to kindness, a place where fun and caring go hand in hand and where girls feel free to express themselves and extend their limits without pressure to conform or fear of ridicule.

Each summer we create a community where Lochearn girls celebrate their childhood, discover the simple joys of playing, laughing and sharing good times with friends in a safe, carefree and wholesome environment. With more than 40 activity offerings to chose from within the areas of land and water sports, studio and performing arts, horseback riding, and outdoor adventure, Lochearn is a camp for everyone.

Each girl designs her own activity schedule sampling from a range of activities or focusing on areas that most interest her. While each day has structure, that structure is built around each girl's own schedule which she has determined and is immensely excited to explore! Each girl has five activities on every other day (A-Day) and five different activities on alternate days (B-Day). Girls can redesign their activity schedules every two weeks choosing from beginner, intermediate and advanced level classes.

Each afternoon, girls enjoy a free choice period which they can spontaneously choose from a variety of fun and exciting offerings including water skiing, open waterfront, open gym, tennis tournaments, stable management, theater rehearsals, sailing regattas, and many unique and special offerings in sports and studio arts.
