Growing up at Zeke: 7 to 17 - Camp Zeke - Sleepaway Summer Camp

The Journey from 7 to 17

Our program evolves as campers grow up in the Camp Zeke community. We divide camp into three units: lower camp, upper camp, and teens. Our dedicated program specialists create age-appropriate experiences for each group, taking into account their varying developmental stages.

Campers’ choices, privileges, and responsibilities expand from summer to summer as they grow up in the camp community. Follow the path below to learn how the program evolves!

Rising second to fifth graders rotate through all our activities with lots of extra attention from staff! Click the circle to read on about the Emek experience!

Our teens take on a leadership role in the camp community! You can mentor younger campers, help lead activities, or just participate in all aspects of the Camp Zeke program. Teens can also earn volunteer hours for school.
