CAMPER PROGRAM

Camp Lookout's program of activities includes nature studies, arts and crafts, swimming and canoeing, and individual and team sports.  Our program also includes cooperative games and activities such as the Field of Awareness, a series of stations with physical activities that require individual and group cooperation to succeed.  Structured cabin time for reading aloud and quiet group activities is a favorite of campers and counselors alike.  Through a variety of fun, challenging, and wholesome acitvities our campers gain self awareness and confidence, build group trust, and develop valuable life skills necessary for positive, productive relationships with peers, family members, and other adults in their lives.

COUNSELOR-IN-TRAINING PROGRAM

As an extension of our camper program, we also provide a Counselor-in Training (CIT) program for youth, ages 14-16.  Each summer, approximately seventy CIT 's will spend a week or more at camp working under the tutelage of our trained staff, developing their own leadership skills while helping to facilitate Camp activities.  We are very proud that annually approximately two thirds of our CIT 's are former campers and two thirds of our counselors are former CIT 's.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Madison County Children's Camp is also proud to partner each summer with Hospice of Onondaga County to provide a weekend of support and activities for teenagers who are coping with the loss of a significant person in their lives.  Grief Weekend is funded each summer by the Montei Foundation in Columbus, Ohio.
