A MEANINGFUL SUMMER OF ADVENTURE!
Camp Turner is nestled in the 65,000-acre Allegany State Park, just south of Buffalo, N.Y., and welcomes campers ages 7-16 of all faiths.
Here, kids unplug and dive into horseback riding, archery, hiking, arts and crafts, nature study, campfires, creek-walking, and games like GaGa ball and 9-Square. Many sessions also offer activities like fishing, drama, Zumba, and digital photography. And older campers enjoy high-ropes adventures, backpacking, off-site outings and leadership development programs.
