Camp Butwin Philosophy
Camp
Butwin creates a friendly and cooperative atmosphere that fosters
individual growth at the camper's own pace. Campers are encouraged
to learn new skills and master old ones, to express themselves
creatively and to grow in their ability to relate to others.
In
this supportive environment, a true sense of community develops.
By building a feeling of both independence and involvement in
community, and developing individual abilities to the fullest,
each camper at Camp Butwin excels.
