About Camp Mac

At Camp Mac, every experience is an opportunity to grow – in confidence, in maturity, in courage, and in joy. We call the process passing off. Here’s how it works. Let’s say your child has never water skied before. The first things they will learn are the Water Skier’s Safety Code, the signals used between skier and boat operator, how to put on skis, how to make an unassisted start and ride for a minute without falling, how to cross the boat wake, and that sort of thing. Once they’ve mastered all of these steps, they earn the distinction of Water Skier 3rd Class. From there, if they so choose, they can continue to “pass off,” eventually rising to the level of Expert. We use this same approach to teach everything from jumping on a trampoline, to horsemanship, to surviving in the woods. It’s how we’ve done it since 1948.

Camp schedules are divided into morning and afternoon activities. We have one set of activities in the mornings, and an entirely different group in the afternoons. Throughout every day, our campers participate in programs ranging from Arts and Crafts to Zip Lines! At Camp Mac, campers have nearly a hundred different activities they can choose from!

We have developed unique programs that are fun and challenging and that offer a deeply unforgettable camp experience. Boys and girls have the same choices and opportunities. This unique structure provides an instructional program like that of an all-boys or all-girls camp, while allowing brothers and sisters to attend camp together.
