With the abundance of choice you face when choosing a summer program, this is the key question. Why choose Camp Twin Creeks over another summer camp or a program that keeps your child closer to home? Also consider the fact that even though your child might be 9 or 10 years old right now, you are hopefully choosing a camp for the adolescent version of your child.
Camp should be a summer home for years to come, a place to return to, a place to grow, a place to relax and be themselves especially as life gets more complicated. This is our goal and we love hearing this from our current camp families with older children at camp. As the parent of a high schooler, I cannot tell you how important my son's time at camp was for him.

Thank you for enrolling once again for Camp Twin Creeks next summer! For us, nothing beats the feeling of seeing familiar faces arrive on the bus and jump out to warm greetings, hugs and smiles! It is a privilege that we never take for granted! Thank you also for continuing to choose nature, adventure, personal growth, independence, cultural diversity and everything else we strive for during a 2-week session at camp.
Camp granted me a platform to grow into a leader. I cultivated tools that I've carried into my professional career like flexibility, humility, inclusivity and how to delegate.

Offering high quality, unplugged programming in all major sports, outdoor adventure, mountain biking, horseback riding, visual and performing arts, and an incredible water program that includes swimming, boating, tubing, and more - the TC experience will nurture any interest and passion campers can dream up!
Today I am grading my 10th grade students' college application essays. One of them wrote about being "shipped off" to TC at 9 years old and how camp made her who she is. While our paths never crossed at camp, the coincidence of having a former camper as a student feels kismet. I've moved to Portland, OR.

Outstanding camp leadership at all levels of the organization and during a tough (pandemic) time. There was no C19 transmission, and our kids got to have a fantastic camp experience. While they missed us at first, they practiced making new friends; they got off the screen and into nature; they grew in ways we couldn’t predict- finding new sports, friends, and new foods they like. We absolutely love Camp Twin Creeks!

My daughter has attended camp here for the last 4 years and she can't wait to go again next summer! She has grown in confidence, made a lot of friends, and experienced outdoor activities she can't do at home - like white water rafting. I wish we had found this camp sooner. Sending her to Camp Twin Creeks is the highlight of her summer!

Our girls have gone to twin Creeks for several years now. Iain and all the staff do a phenomenal job of creating a warm, friendly, exciting two weeks. It takes a very special place to make two teenage girls absolutely delighted to turn off TikTok and put their phones away for two weeks! The staff at Twin Creeks makes sure that the days are action packed and our girls always say the two weeks go by way to quickly.

Camp Twin Creeks was my son's first sleep away camp experience. We chose Dream Week as he was 9 years old and had never been away from home. At the end of that first week, I received an email from Iain giving me ‘heads up’ that my son wanted to stay for the full 2 week experience. He had such a blast! After picking him up, before I even drove off the camp property, my son couldn’t wait to return the next summer. Two weeks, no screens, new experiences, and every outdoor adventure is 100% worth it.

Twin Creeks is like MAGIC! My oldest son chose TC 3 or 4 years ago and NO OTHER camp had been an option since! My youngest son went last year and we just knew he would not make it the whole two week. PLEASE! This year the youngest wants to stay for a month. From the group events, the friendships, Olympics, sports, the horses...the creek...everything keeps these kids completely mesmerized while there! The counselors become loving aunts and uncles and the teens that become counselor are learning leadership. This is a well rounded place for your kiddos to live and grow! I would 100% recommend TC to

We live abroad, and for the two past summers, going to Camp Twin Creeks was hands down the highlight of my son's summer and is his "home" for the summer, no matter where we otherwise live and roam. My son started at Camp Twin Creeks when he was 9 yrs old and loved the two week sessions. It was long enough that he could get super immersed while still being (kinda) ready to come back home. He met great friends every year, and loved the routine of familiar faces of staff and counselors. As a parent, the communication is great, and I can send him off to summer camp without a worry in the world. Last

THE BEST! Have sent both my children there for over 5 years each, and they refer to it simply as "home." Beyond the requisite items such as a incredible people, supportive and enthusiastic leadership, and a wealth of activities, Twin Creeks feels like a veritable family. Counselors come back year after year; and because the camp treats the counselors well, the kids are well-taken care of and happy. Finally, my kiddos have made lifelong friends who live not so far away in the DMV that they would have never met otherwise. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a wonderful second "home" to

I went to Camp TC for 10 years and it has been the best experience of my life. The friends I met, the time I had to grow as a young adult and the memories are the best. In fact, I am planning to return this summer as a counselor and I am sooo excited. I just could not stay away that long, as Camp TC is where I am most at ease and filled with joy! I also look forward to the day I will send my own kids here (no rush)!

The best two weeks of the year for our kids, without a doubt. We have sent all four of our kids here throughout the past ten plus years. The opportunity they get to UNPLUG and communicate with others, experience nature and have fun is awesome. The communication from the staff, the letters home and photos make you feel as if you are experiencing the joy as well - and I am jealous every year that I cannot attend myself. It is hard to put in words or say enough good things about how much Camp Twin Creeks means to our family!!!

My 13-yr-old strong-willed daughter was set on NOT liking camp last summer and instead came back so energized and filled with so many amazing stories. She’s still in touch with her camp friends and is headed back this year full of enthusiasm. No joke. I’m still in awe. Can’t be any more grateful for the experiences she had and for Twin Creeks creating an environment teens can still enjoy- phone-free! 100% recommend.
