Junior Camp is comprised of four groups:
- Freshmen (“Frosh”) (completed 1st grade)
- Sophomore As (completed 2nd grade)
- Sophomore Bs (completed 3rd grade)
- Juniors (completed 4th grade)
Led by Assistant Director Alexa Minion Wehmeyer, each group has their own group head, guidance person, and athletic director. Many of these men and women are coaches or educators and all have been at Brant Lake Camp for years.
- The Junior camp program allows for boys to try out everything that Brant Lake has to offer
- Competition is carefully thought out, age-appropriate, and thoroughly supervised
- Regular trips out of camp to nearby attractions and classic Adirondack experiences
- 1:2 counselor to camper ratio – including more female counselors – means that our younger boys the care and attention they need
Our youngest campers enjoy a well-rounded program that provides a strong foundation for their future years at BLC.
