Camp Wayne for Boys

Friends and staff members become “Brothers for Life” at Camp Wayne, founded back in 1921. Big Brother/Little Brother program is created to help newcomers make a smooth transition into the camp life. First-time campers receive a call from their Big Brother to talk about the camp and what they can expect during the coming weeks. School tutoring is also available for boys whose parents will inform the staff about needed instruction in advance. The staff at Camp Wayne is comprised of educators, college and high school coaches, as well as graduate and undergraduate students, the senior staff having years of camp experience. The Food Service Director takes the full responsibility for the food served in the camp. Meals are always fresh, well-balanced, nutritious and varied. Breakfast is served buffet-style, while lunch and dinner are served family-style – in the large dining-room that overlooks the lake. Fruits are available during the whole day, and still boys need three snacks throughout the day to have enough energy for all the fun and learning at the camp. Accommodation is provided for dietary restrictions.

Instructional sports program and the Conference (a daily league period), are the heart of the activities Camp Wayne offers. In addition, campers participate in waterfront, adventure and art activities, as well as in the Leadership Program. The non-exhaustive list of activities includes basketball, boxing, European team handball, fitness, martial arts, canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboard, tubing, water polo, high/low ropes course, zip line, mountain biking, as well as music, painting, performing arts, chess, Ga Ga and so much more. Two important activities, Dream Weekend and Rookie Day, will be valuable to those who are considering to join the camp. During Dream Weekend, teens spend two days participating in the sport, art and adventure activities the camp offers. On the Rookie day, parents are invited to experience the camp life with their children. Mondays and Thursdays are special event days, which include Scavenger Hunt, Super League Day, the Carnival, the Olympics, Shark Tank, and Amazing Race.
