Camp Lohikan is a residential summer camp for boys and girls aged 6 to 15, located in the northeast Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania in Wayne County. We're about 2 1/2 hours from New York City.
Since 1957 Camp Lohikan has been owned and operated by the Buynak Family. For 53 summers the Buynak Family and Camp Lohikan's staff have provided campers with a safe, supportive environment to make friends, professional instruction to learn new skills and sharpen old ones, and a friendly atmosphere where fun happens all the time!
Our campsite is situated on 1200 acres and located high in the northeast Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. The campus is surrounded by preserved forested landscape and overlooks picturesque streams, a private lake and miles of mountain vistas. The mountain air at a quarter mile above sea level is clean and dry. Summer days are typically warm and nights are cool. It's the ideal location for summer camp!
Our facilities are among the best in camping!... Heated swimming pool, private lake with 50+ boats, on-premises stables with 30 horses and 7 miles of trails, over 40,000 square feet of indoor activity facilities, 11 tennis courts equipped with lights, 6 basketball courts (indoor and outdoor), 4 regulation sports fields, extensive adventure program and ropes course, indoor & outdoor theaters (fully equipped), 14 arts & crafts workshops, awesome skate park, circus arts center, modern cabins with showers... Lohikan has it all! (Check out our Facilities Page for a complete listing of Lohikan's facilities.)
Our program stands out for its breadth and the quality of instruction. Over 65 activities are operated on a daily basis!
The Daily Program for campers entering 6th grade and older is elective. Every camper gets to choose his or her own schedule of activities. Campers entering the 5th grade and younger follow a cabin-structured program and are accompanied by their counselors. But even juniors get elective choices in Lohikan's unique cabin-structured program! (Take a look at our Junior Program page.)
Lohikan's staff is composed of 60+ camp professionals and a counseling staff of more than 130 college-enrolled young men and women selected for their skills and experience with children.
What makes Lohikan truly unique is our relaxed, non-competitive, friendly atmosphere. This is a camp where everyone is valued and accepted. We're like one big family at camp. It's a special environment which has produced thousands of successful summers for first-time campers in our 52 years of camping. Check out our First-Time Camper Program!
A caring, professional staff, a nurturing camp environment, great activities, and a place where you can truly "let your hair down" and just have FUN... It's the ideal summer camp!.
