“I’ve been part of a lot of camps and communities and I think what makes Pok-O different from everywhere else is that no other place has the heart and identity that this place has. Part comes from tradition, but mostly it’s a creative, energetic fun-loving atmosphere.
“Pok-O gives kids an experience that they can remember. Between all the games and fun, what’s most important is that we are sending the kids home changed for the better!”
– Nathan, Camper and counselor for eight summers
The slogan “The way summer camp ought to be” might be better rendered as “The way summer ought to be”! Camp does not just provide a child with a fun experience; it can be life changing.
Lessons learned… Independence gained… Responsibility embraced… Confidence developed. All among loving friends, supportive staff, and beautiful nature.
For 115 years, Pok-O-MacCready – owned and operated by one family – has made it a priority to find that moment, that hour, that day when a child becomes aware of his or her strengths and abilities. Campers are taught the skills and techniques not only of camp activities, but of life in general.
