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.
​
Our programming encourages the growth of:
 

  • Community Living Skills: cooperation, sharing, compromise, communication and conflict resolution.

  • Self-Care Skills: time management, decision making, housekeeping and hygiene.

  • Interpersonal Skills: independence, responsibility and, most importantly, making friends.

  • Values: teamwork, sharing, compassion, forgiveness, and respect of self, others, and nature.

  • Spirituality: reverence for the presence of God in every person, place and thing.
