Directions to Camp


Richard and Sheryl We are Richie and Sheryl Kamen, directors and owners of Camp Equinunk and Camp Blue Ridge. Before we became camp directors, we both began as educators, both with doctorates in education. But, more important: we are parents. We understand that choosing a great camp can be a difficult position.

And, we are sure that you don’t take this lightly. So we want you to know that we take summer fun very seriously: We’re hands on, and we are here to help guide you through your decision process. To make the summer camp experience exciting and reassuring for the entire family, we do whatever we have to do to establish a "partnership in parenting" with you.

We do all the things that many other camps do to help kids grow physically and emotionally . . . to ensure memorable, fun-filled, wholesome, well-supervised experiences . . . and to help campers develop new skills and a sense of independence and to make new life-long friends. But, you’ve probably heard that somewhere else, and perhaps even several other places.

  • We have found the formula that we think works seamlessly for kids. A Brother - Sister Camp
  • We have a location that combines scenic beauty with convenience: The Poconos
  • We combine memorable activities with state-of-the-art facilities: The Equinunk - Blue Ridge Experience
  • We and our staff help the campers to create an incredible atmosphere: The Equinunk - Blue Ridge Spirit
  • Equinunk and Blue Ridge really do become a second family that continues after the summer and exists throughout the year

    We look forward to speaking with you and then meeting you, to talk about our camp, our philosophy, our setting, our programs and facilities, our returning staff – and to show you that incredible spirit!

    staff
  • Most of our counselors have made Equinunk and Blue Ridge their summer home for years and years.
  • Many have really grown up here, graduating from being campers to being staff members.
  • They understand the Blue Ridge and Equinunk philosophy and ideals and want to teach them to others.
  • They return year after year, and this continuity helps to build solid, lasting relationships.
  • Our staff understands that it’s not just guiding campers through a sport or a craft; it’s guiding them lovingly from childhood toward young adulthood.
