Why Make the Camp Puh’Tok Choice?
With many age appropriate activities to choose from, there is never a dull moment at Camp Puh’Tok. From archery to archeology, rope courses to Indian Lore, nature to horseback riding, Puh’Tok offers something for everyone. Throughout their busy day, campers still find time to stop and watch the geese fly by, listen to the breeze in the trees, or smell the smoke from a crackling campfire.
Campers, ages 5-16, are invited to take part in this unique camping opportunity; to learn about the world around them, its’ inhabitants, and themselves. While mastering outdoor skills, campers gain self sufficiency and discover lasting friendships. While reliving our American heritage, they acquire an appreciation for tradition, teamwork, integrity, and the many cultures that have shaped America.
Programs are organized according to age and gender so that each child will have an experience at the appropriate level and return each year to a new set of challenges.
