Welcome to our blog

Camp Choconut is a residential boys camp in northeast Pennsylvania that was founded in 1896 as one of the first summer camps in the country. It provides a setting for boys where outdoor activities such as camping, backpacking, canoeing, and sports help to instill the values of cooperation, teamwork, responsibility, and friendship. Our camp also teaches archery, swimming, canoeing, hiking, construction, fishing, woodworking, and our legendary "big games," some of which are 100 years old.

Our 85th season will be a six-week session from June 27– August 8. A concurrent three-week session is available from June 27– July 18. The second half offers a multi-day canoe trip on a local river and the "Villa Hunt," a three-day game of hide-and-seek on and around our square-mile campus.

We will be updating this blog regularly throughout the summer about camp activities and we invite you to come back often!

Thanks for stopping by.
