Located on over 600 acres of scenic woodlands, Camp Mason is a unique blend of traditional and adventure summer camp.  We have been building character since 1900 by emphasizing the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.  Campers choose their activities, allowing them to customize their camp experience.  Our wide variety of options include basketball, archery, swimming in our pool, skate boarding, soccer, boating and canoeing, arts & crafts, ceramics, mountain biking, rock climbing, fishing, and more. 

 

Like horses? Camp Mason offers daily horseback riding lessons for all skill levels featuring trail rides around camp.  Love horses? Try our Diamond M Ranch Camp!  Each camper is paired with a horse and takes part in feeding, tacking, grooming, and other responsibilities.  It’s not all work of course- we also get to do plenty of Western Style riding!

 

Up for something adventurous?  Campers have the option of signing up for daily half day, full day, and overnight trips in the area.  Popular trips include hiking to beautiful waterfalls, tubing on the Delaware River, climbing at a real rock face, and taking a dip in local lakes.  For those interested in a real wilderness experience try our Adventure Bound Treks program.  We offer 6 to 13 day camping trips for small groups of 11 to 16 year olds.
