Growing up at Zeke: 6 to 17 - Camp Zeke - Sleepaway Summer Camp

The Journey from 6 to 17

Our program evolves as campers grow up in the Camp Zeke community. We divide camp into three units: lower camp, upper camp, and teens. Our dedicated program specialists create age-appropriate experiences for each group, taking into account their varying developmental stages.

All campers explore their own interests in our elective-based programming.

Campers’ experiences, privileges, and responsibilities expand from summer to summer as they grow up in the camp community. Follow the path below to learn how the program evolves!
