WHAT MAKES BLACK BEAR LAKE DIFFERENT?
In Addition to Our Caring Staff, Wonderful Facilities,
Excellent Activities, Fun Special Events, and Safety First Transportation
Black Bear Lake has Many Unique Features That Make Us Stand Out From All Other Camps
(Click on any item for details):
Our Unique Elective Program
- Black Bear Lake has the most complete Elective Program of any day camp
- Campers from ages 6-15 get to choose from 4 to 5 elective activities each week!
- Campers are sent home a weekly list of over 50 electives to choose from and can complete their choice online, with their parents' help
- Campers go to their electives every day with other children their age, so if they are learning a dance routine on Monday, they will perform for the camp on Friday
- We have 3 full-time office staff dedicated to processing elective choices to ensure your child gets their first choices in classes with other children their age
- Campers may take the same activities each week or try new ones - so if you are into basketball - no need to go to basketball camp this summer- you can play every day of the summer with professional instruction for top notch clinics and games!
- Our program design allows us to offer many unique activities with true professionals including Fencing, Scuba Diving, Skateboarding, Chess, and more...
- Campers meet other children their age with similar interests when they go to their electives, so they can expand their friendship circle beyond their immediate group. Click here for Program details

Campers with outdoor electives participate in our unique Rainy Day Program – which includes a giant Indoor Carnival with ten fun Boardwalk Games with tons of prizes, five inflatable Sport Stations like skee-ball and hooley ball, as well as three covered Gaga Courts, 4 Way Ping Pong, Air Hockey and Foosball – so that everyone is actively playing while staying dry! We also have space to watch movies on our high-definition screens, play over 50 different board games with friends, and participate in wild and wacky division-wide competitions for awesome prizes – like Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?, Blurt, Indoor Scavenger Hunt, the Newlywed Game, or the BBL Annual Spelling Bee!
