GO BEARS!

10th Week: we love you! Longtime families and dozens of new campers mixed and mingled for a spectacular week. Thanks for bringing the Lair magic.

If you’re not ready for a full week, we host getaway weekends, and have openings next weekend (Aug 21-23) and it’s not too late to join us!

Our getaway weekends are condensed family camp sessions with age group programs (our staff watch your kids while you enjoy some ‘me’ time), plus a campfire show, hiking, pool time, all meals… and s’mores! If you haven’t camped at the Lair before or it’s been a while, this is a great opportunity to see what campers all summer are raving about! Learn more — link in bio!
