Culver Summer Schools & Camps

Junior Woodcraft Camp (ages 7-9)

Due to the short length of Junior Woodcraft Camp, and our desire to hold both Woodcraft Camp and Upper Schools, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our Junior Woodcraft Camp for 2021. Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to bringing back Junior Woodcraft in 2022!

Boys and girls, ages 7 to 9, are invited to experience Woodcraft Camp -- junior style!

This four-day camp runs as close to the real experience as possible, revealing the fun and excitement of our day-to-day programs at Culver Woodcraft Camp.

Junior Woodcrafters follow a similar structure complete with activity rotations, free swim, evening activities and leadership opportunities.

Junior Woodcrafters are split by boys (Chipmunks) and girls (Hummingbirds) in our cabins on our beautiful Culver campus near the shores of Lake Maxinkuckee. Our 4-to-1 ratio provides the safety, leadership and supervision younger campers deserve from a world-class camp program.

At registration, you will receive all of the necessary contact information for the camp director and camp headquarters.

Closing Ceremony and Picking Your Camper Up

All parents and family members are invited to the Retreat Parade and Closing Ceremony on the last day of camp, Saturday, June 12th at 10:00 AM at the Woodcraft Amphitheater. This will give you and your family a chance to see what your camper has learned while he/she was at camp!
