"Thank you so much for a great day!!!  Even through the rain and the mud slides the sun was shining on Tioga.  My kids are truly so happy.  It was great to walk around with them and be introduced to their world. It is amazing to see they have a life outside of ours. The friendships they are making, and the experiences they are living will follow them throughout their life.  That is PRICELESS!!!!!"

"When our children returned home, they had nothing but good things to say. I tried to elicit a response from them about the things they disliked most about camp. It was a surprise when they said they disliked nothing. My kids can complain about almost anything! They enjoyed the flexibility in scheduling their activities, thought the facilities were great, and had fun with the off-site events....See you next year."

Detaching from Technology Allows for Better Social Skills 

There is no denying that we live in an age where everyone relies on technology. However, a reliance on technology can foster a feeling of social anxiety in young boys. Camp is the perfect place to disconnect from technology. After all, there is a strict no cell phone policy here at Camp Tioga. Putting the phone down allow them to socialize with their peers. 

Staying Physically Active

It is important for everyone to be physically active in some way, shape or form. For boys, it is particularly important. It gives them the opportunity to channel their energy in a positive manner. Boys will definitely stay active when they attend Camp Tioga!
