1) It’s close! We are located within a three hour drive of Philadelphia, New York, and only slightly longer from Boston, Baltimore and the Washington D.C. area. Sending our children “away” to camp is one of the true blessings we can bestow upon our children, but let’s be honest its tough on us parents. Choosing Wayne County gives every parent the additional reassurance that we can get in our car and be at camp in a short period of time.
2)Diversity. The camps of Wayne County draw campers from all over the United States and abroad. Many camps attract children from Philadelphia to Paris and from Los Angeles to Long Island. This diversity of campers allows children to come to camp and express their interests and meet kids with similar traits from all over the United States and world. This does not even mention the staff. Camps in Wayne County hire staff from all over the United States, Europe, Australia, South America and Africa. Basically your children will be exposed to staff from everywhere other than Antarctica during their summer at camp.
3) The Programs! If you choose to send your child to camp in Wayne County, there is certainly a program that is best for them. From the child who is looking for an 
individual program tailored to his or her self while still getting the “typical” summer camp experience to the very traditional program with structured bunk scheduling and individual choice hybrid. There is also a unique sports league within the camps of Wayne County that allow children that so desire to participate in teams that travel to other camps in a competitive model.
4)Create Lasting Memories! So many of our campers because of their diverse backgrounds leave camp with “friends for life”. We often hear campers say they “live 10 months for 2”. This is the true mission of every camp I think. To leave our kids free to develop and create relationships that are the type that will “last a lifetime”
