Summer Camp 2026

Traditional Day Camp

Coed, Ages 3*-15 | Monday-Friday

Blue Mountain Day Camp is where summer days are filled with fresh air, big smiles, and unforgettable adventures. Designed with families in mind, our program gives kids the chance to unplug, get outside, and truly be kids. Campers spend their days swimming and splashing in our beautiful lake, exploring the outdoor setting of camp, and trying new activities that spark joy, confidence, and lasting friendships. As an ACA-accredited camp, Blue Mountain Day Camp meets the highest standards for safety, program quality, and staff training, giving parents peace of mind while their children enjoy a summer full of fun, belonging, and wonder.

Campers are split by age and grade into four groups. Turtles (3yrs old-entering Kindergarten), Pacers (entering grades 1-3), Pathfinders (entering grades 4-6) and Pioneers (entering grades 7-9). Check out our About Page to learn more about our groups, ratios, and more!)

Great outdoor old-school camp experience with excellent facilities and a wonderful staff!!

Our granddaughter Olivia enjoyed the most swimming in the lake, volleyball, live music and dancing while waiting to be picked up by the bus, bus riding to and from the camp and the staff of the Camp.She made a lot of new friends. Olivia liked the Camp so much that she wants to return to the Blue Mountain Day Camp next Summer for two sessions instead of one.

My kids have the best time and look forward to going to camp every day!
Vanessa Bacco
My kids had a fabulous time at Blue Mountain Day Camp for two weeks in 2023 and five weeks in 2024. They're begging me to send them there for the entire summer next year! The counselors were excellent, the outdoor activities and swimming are unmatched, and we love that the kids have an old-fashioned, adventure-filled summer with new friends.
Annalyn Kurtz
I love that my daughter gets to spend a lot of time outdoors, swim in the lake, meet new people and make new friends. She is always sad when her time at BMDC is over. The staff are excellent and very communicative about busing, what's going on at camp, and if my daughter has any needs or challenges. Looking forward to sending my daughter again next summer!
