Parent Resources

Since 1995, Black Bear Lake Day Camp has been creating summers that parents can feel confident about and children will never forget. We know that sending your child to camp is a big decision—it’s more than just a summer activity; it’s entrusting us with their happiness, safety, and growth. That’s a responsibility we take seriously every single day.

From the moment your camper steps through our gates, our team is dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. We focus on helping your child build confidence, make lasting friendships, and discover new passions—while giving you peace of mind knowing they are supported by experienced, caring staff who treat every camper like family.

At Black Bear Lake, we don’t just care about your child’s summer—we care about your entire experience as a camp family. From regular updates and personal calls from Division Leaders to daily insights into camp life, we keep you connected and informed every step of the way. Our goal is to ensure that while your child is having the time of their life, you feel included, reassured, and part of the magic too.

Every laugh, accomplishment, and new adventure your child experiences at camp is backed by a team that values safety, happiness, and growth. At Black Bear Lake, summer is a partnership between campers, staff, and parents—a place where trust, joy, and memories come together to create an experience that lasts far beyond the summer months.

There’s a reason Black Bear Lake has the reputation it does – we’ve been earning it since 1995, and there’s no other day camp like ours!  That’s a promise
