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. A 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.


Do you like horses? Camp Mason offers daily horseback riding lessons for all skill levels featuring trail rides around camp. Do you 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 one and two-week camping trips for small groups of campers in grades 7-10.

 

Please visit our website for more information. We offer personal tours of our facility all year long; just give us a call to schedule a time convenient for you. Contact Don Jennings, our Camp Director, with any questions, and we'll see you at camp!
