For Campers and Parents

Summer 2025 was a great one at Camp Carew! We welcomed 122 campers and had another great summer season. The lake drawdown definitely brought a few challenges, but we worked through them and made sure camp activities stayed exciting and meaningful.

Because of our relationship with Crab Orchard Campground, we were able to take our campers to their beach for swim time. The campground owners were kind enough to reserve the beach just for Camp Carew during our scheduled swim periods. We also transported our canoes and kayaks there so campers could continue enjoying boating activities. Our on-camp water activities were geared towards our younger campers and included splash pads, water blasters, and other fun ways to cool off.

We are planning a wonderful summer and we are excited that you want to be part of it.
