Dear Jeff Lake Camp Families,

We are thrilled to announce that Jeff Lake Camp will be opening on July 13th.

Thank you for your patience as we did all of our research.

Will Jeff Lake look and feel different this summer? Yes, it will. Yet, the spirit and foundation of camp will still be the same. Your camper will swim, play sports, tap into their creative side in art, music and dance, and enjoy the activities on our lake. Most importantly, campers will re-connect and engage with their friends in the fresh air on our expansive campus.

Please see below for the Jeff Lake Camp Safety and Wellness Handbook for 2020. It is important that you read it carefully. It outlines in detail the protocols that we will be following and will give you a good understanding of how camp will operate.

We appreciate the complexity of this decision and support any choice that you believe is best for your family.
