Camp only lasts for 3 months. That means that campers are separated from camp for 9 months out of the year. It's all about making the most of your time away from camp. Below are some tips that will help you do just that. 

Join a Sports Team
At Camp Tioga, we offer plenty of sports for our campers to enjoy. That might be one of the things you miss most about camp. To fill that void, join a sports team at home. It will help you maintain an active lifestyle.

Keep in Touch With Camp Friends
With all the technology at your fingertips, staying in touch with people has never been easier. You can keep in touch with the friends you made at camp on social media, email or text.
