A Day Camp to Build Character, Confidence and Lifelong Friendships!
Overview
Lake Stockwell Day Camp is located in a wooded wonderland in the heart of the South Jersey Pine Barrens. Our traditional co-ed summer camp, for campers ages 3 to 15, offers enriching outdoor activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, sports, fishing, boating and so much more. We also focus on developing essential skills in our campers, including teamwork, communication, leadership, and independence. We’re also technology-free, so campers can happily unplug from devices while they’re here.
We offer 10 weeks of camp – you can register for as little or as many weeks as you want. Our campers are divided into groups based on the grade they are entering in the fall. Each group’s camp schedule is action-packed and filled with five activity periods per day. We also provide a hot lunch* and afternoon snack. Each day consists of safe, age-appropriate activities, new friends, lasting memories, and personal growth.

Lake Stockwell's Camp Groups

Main Camp – grades K to 6
Our Main Camp program offers a dynamic variety of outdoor activities designed to challenge, engage, and inspire campers. With a progressive structure, campers enjoy new activities and opportunities tailored to their age group as they grow, such as fishing and boating. From sports, arts and crafts to nature exploration and cooking, each day brings something exciting and fresh.
Campers follow a rotating schedule, meaning each day offers different activities. Most activities are scheduled 1-2 times per week, so your camper might get to try something new even on the last day of the session! Swimming, however, is part of every group’s daily schedule, ensuring plenty of time to splash and cool off. Each grade group has its own unique name, creating a strong sense of identity and camaraderie among campers. These group names reflect the spirit of adventure and growth that defines Lake Stockwell, and as campers move up in age, they advance to a new group with fresh opportunities and experiences.
Lower Camp:
Pioneers – Kindergarten | Trailblazers – 1st Grade | Wanderers – 2nd Grade | Voyagers – 3rd Grade
Upper camp:
Questers – 4th Grade | Navigators – 5th Grade | Pathfinders – 6th Grade
Explorers – grades 7 to 10
Our Explorers program is tailored to meet the needs of our teens. In addition to enjoying all the classic camp activities, Explorers take on more challenging experiences, like our state-of-the-art Challenge Course, where they develop essential skills in teamwork, communication, and leadership.
A highlight of the program is the weekly field trips* to exciting local destinations, giving campers the chance to explore new places and create unforgettable memories with their peers. Dave & Buster’s, Funplex, Top Golf, and Fireball Mountain are a few trip camper favorites!
Explorers also enjoy exclusive activities that no other camps can, such as canoe fishing and boating the Amazon, a scenic 3-mile journey to Matolly’s dam. Specially designed teen programs round out this one-of-a-kind experience, making the Explorers program the perfect fit for adventurous teens ready for the next level of camp excitement.
Lake Stockwell's Leadership Program
Counselor-in-Training
Do you have what it takes to be a future leader? We think you do, and we can help you achieve it!
Our CIT program is a very competitive 5-week commitment, designed to provide a unique training opportunity to returning campers who have a love of the camp environment and have demonstrated a strong desire to work with children in a leadership capacity. Participants are held to high expectations, and are trained to lead activities for both younger campers and peers.
Participants of our program not only get to enjoy the rewarding, fun and challenging aspects of camp from a different vantage point, but are able to discover their capacity for leadership and potentially transition into the role of counselor camp.
The CIT participants will attend the weekly field trips with the Explorers campers. This allows them to still be teens, too!
