Camp Oneka is an ACA (American Camp Association) accredited camp for girls located on the shore of beautiful Fairview Lake in the Pocono region of northeast Pennsylvania. We provide a rich traditional program which includes a wide variety of activities from field sports, such as hockey, softball, and soccer to drama, arts and crafts, ceramics, photography, tennis, horseback riding, mountain biking, archery, and tower climbing, to name a few. Our aquatic program is particularly outstanding, thanks to our location on Fairview Lake, and includes canoeing, sailing, rowing, water skiing, tubing, lifeguard training, and more. Oneka was used by the National Red Cross as a site for production of their Lifeguard Training films. With a camper-to-counselor ration of three-to-one, Oneka has succeeded in creating a warm family atmosphere where each camper's well-being is everyone's concern. This is particularly reassuring to young and first-time campers. The summer of 2008 will mark the 100th year of camping at Oneka!
