The AWESOME aspect of ALC’s camper program is that it gives you choice. All campers have the chance to experience every one of our activities regularly, ones they are comfortable with and know, while also challenging themselves to try an activity that may be brand new to them. The GREAT thing about this is that girls with all different kinds of interests – from the athlete, to the artist, to the wilderness adventurer – can feel at home with their strengths while challenging themselves to experiment with those things that are new to them. Trust us, this program structure is a bit different than most places! You will make activity choices with counselor guidance and will benefit from the best instructors, a lot of fun and the challenge of learning – all with ENTHUSIASM abounding!

“It has taken a year of reflection for me to really understand what it is that I have taken from my experiences at Alford Lake Camp.  When I arrived at camp, I was so shy that I was intimidated by being in new places surrounded by unfamiliar people.  I now am brimming with confidence and embrace new challenges and experiences.  I would not look upon my summer at ALC as an adventure, but as an overwhelming change in my life.  I am so grateful for the experiences that you gave me and the knowledge that I gathered that taught me that I can do whatever I want to do and I can be whoever I want to be.”  -ALC Alum
