Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, father figures, mentors, and caregivers in our CLN community.

Today, we celebrate the people who encourage adventures, cheer us on through challenges, share their wisdom, and help create lasting memories.

We also recognize that Father’s Day can be complicated and emotional for many. Whether today brings joy, gratitude, remembrance, loss, longing, or mixed emotions, we're holding space for every experience.💚

Wishing you all a peace-filled day.

Years from now, most campers won't remember every activity they did.

But they'll remember a friend.

The friend who sat next to them at their first campfire.

The friend who helped them paddle a canoe.

The friend who laughed so hard they couldn't finish telling a story.

The friend who started as a stranger and ended the week feeling like family.

Every summer, we watch these friendships form.

It's one of our favorite parts of camp.

Because while adventures are wonderful, it's the people we share them with that make them unforgettable.

We're counting down the days until those friendships begin again at Camp Little Notch. 🌲❤️

If you're considering sending your child to summer camp for the first time, we know you may be wondering:

"Will my child be okay?"

It's a question we hear every summer.

The answer is yes. 😊

They'll meet caring counselors who are excited to get to know them.

They'll find friends who share their interests.

They'll discover strengths they didn't know they had.

And somewhere between the campfires, the canoe rides, the laughter, and the adventures, they'll begin to see themselves a little differently.

More confident.

More independent.

More capable.

That's what summer camp can do.

And it's why we love what we do.

We can't wait to share an unforgettable summer with your camper.

We've seen it happen hundreds of times.

A camper arrives on opening day clutching a pillow, a stuffed animal, or a parent's hand. They're excited... but maybe a little nervous, too.

A week later, they're climbing into the car to go home.

And suddenly they don't want to leave.

They're talking a mile a minute about canoe trips, campfires, silly songs, funny jokes, and the new friends whose phone numbers are tucked into their backpack.

The child who arrived unsure leaves feeling confident, connected, and proud.

That's the magic of Camp Little Notch.

The people, the friendships, and the memories made along the way.

We can't wait to welcome your camper this summer. 💚

And there's still time to register:
