Why Camp Twin Creeks?
Camp Twin Creeks offers a complete overnight camp experience in just two weeks. More importantly, we offer a community for life and a place where kids can experience childhood the way it should be – connected to themselves, nature and friends rather than to screens and phones.
Yes, we are a summer camp, but we are also a Youth Development organization. Everything we do is based on our Youth Development Philosophy.
Our Youth Development Philosophy
Sleepaway camp is about learning to be comfortable in the uncomfortable, but doing it in a safe, supportive environment.
The four pillars of our Youth Development Philosophy guide our programming decisions, they are part of our staff training, and they are our true north in everything we do.
An easy drive, a world away
Camp is located within the stunning Allegheny Mountains near the border of West Virginia and Virginia and a few miles from the Monongahela National Forest. Our sleepaway camp is near Washington DC (less than a 4 hour drive—and we offer a bus) as well as the historic Homestead and Greenbrier resorts and Snowshoe Ski mountain.
Our nearly 200 acres sit at 2,300 feet above sea level, so campers enjoy cool summer temperatures with chilly mornings and evenings as well as low humidity. We’re surrounded by two creeks, have our own pond, and are home to Minnehaha Springs.
It’s All About the People
Our counselors and leadership team are what make Camp Twin Creeks truly magical. The majority of our staff return each year, and many of them grew up at camp. Our leadership team has over 150 years of combined experience in camping, education, and youth development.
