Keystone prides itself on our exceptional ability to personally connect with each and every camper, much due to our highly trained and qualified staff. Our leadership team maintains a "hands-on" approach, and is part of daily activities and development of staff members. Three credentialed teachers head this on-site team to ensure a positive camp experience for every child.
Meet our Keystone Leadership Team:.

Many local camps are unilateral, focusing our kids on one activity, sport, or skill. That's the complete opposite of our dynamic programming at Keystone South! This summer, campers will form deep connections with their stable, consistent camp groups (and two counselors), visiting a programmed schedule of activities, changing every day they come to camp! Sports of all types, performing arts, fine arts, specialized programming, we have it all!
Keystone South day campers have the ultimate opportunity for adventure - a unique blend of programmed activities DAILY! Whether it's lanyards, soccer, hockey, improv games, frisbee disc golf, painting, or homerun derby, we have everything your camper would crave in a summer camp experience. This dynamic program is constantly changing and adapting based on our camper's interests, giving your child new and unique experiences daily!

Our teens have their own needs, and what better way to meet them than by having their own program! Keystone teens will be a part of the CIT Teen Program, where they will "assist" our staff members for a part of their day, working to build future life skills and confidence. Our CIT director will work to develop and bring out your child's personal abilities and talents, and showcase how each of our teens can make an impact on our younger campers.
With a new theme and events each week, Keystone South is anything but typical. We'll celebrate Decades Week, Crazy Hair and Hat Day, all kinds of holidays "reimagined" during the summer months, and Pajama Day, just to scratch the surface. We'll set Camp Records during our ever-popular "Challenge Week" and have a blast celebrating summer with the skits and songs that makes camp memorable!

I had my 4 year old daughter in this camp all summer and she loved it. Mike, the camp director, is wonderful and clearly loves what he does. The staff is incredibly caring and patient. They do such fun things throughout the day— art projects, bouncy houses, music, swimming, sports etc. I can’t say enough great things about this place.

This camp was great. I ended up doing two weeks because it was so much fun. Unlike some camps where counselors dictate every move the kids make, Keystone South was like recess every day. The counselors played with the kids, as well as kept an eye on things. Counselors were quick to learn the names of all the kids and especially those in their group. At other camps, I wouldn't even know what the counselor's name was because they didn't make an impression or try to relate more. It's a testament to this camp that we came online to look up dates for next summer so we could plan our summer trips around
