First Time Campers

An Experience To Remember

Camp Lochearn is a very special place, and you will feel it from the moment you enter our gates. From the first hello to hug-filled goodbyes, everyone here strives to create a warm, welcoming environment that lasts the whole summer and beyond.

Lochearn is a community of kindness. Our motto expresses the core values that define our camp culture. New campers are welcomed here, and at Lochearn, a friend is never far away! First-time campers find an amazing new community where they are safe and supported to grow and explore, and walk away with lifelong friendships.

We have an excellent, trained staff with a 3:1 camper-counselor ratio, so that our campers have the opportunity to form authentic, trusting relationships with their counselors. Our camp community is divided into three divisions based on age, and we help put younger campers at ease right away by pairing them with a big sister. Through cabin time and program activities, singing camp songs and enjoying meals together, our girls are encouraged to make and to keep friends as they grow to have more courage and self-confidence.
